"Please Crassus, grow up or get out."

I'm sorry, you're accusing me of starting a flame war and yet you're throwing this at me?

My submission of an opinion piece to a news source is not an objectionable or uncommon practice. Letters to the editor are a frequently made in many traditional newspapers, and I correctly labelled my piece as an opinion piece, backed up with sources for any facts I presented. The only difference here is that the standards of publication are so low on this site that the original publication wasn't even filtered out by the editorial staff. I find it highly dubious that you could accuse me of improper conduct when in fact all I did was submit a piece for review by the staff. What's worse? Writing something objectionable or publishing it? Who has the higher responsibility?
