My role here is to uphold the guidelines, which includes pointing it out to people that they have acted outside the guidelines when they may not realize that they’ve done so. Nobody said or thought you were an “evil bad faith actor”. It was a polite ask to try harder, which we do all the time. The ongoing escalation doesn’t make you seem like you’re committed to raising the standards here. This place only exists because enough people make the effort to push the standards up. It’s up to you what you want your role to be.
Both of you need to stop.
