This is getting worrying. Russ expressed sympathy about the bad effects that warnings could have on people, and you've somehow misinterpreted that as a direct attack on you. Either you're playing this up willfully, or you have a genuine problem understanding that *not* all such discussions are attacks targeting you. Right now I can't tell which is more likely.
