You found it ok to go around the sites rules (as enforced by the reply limit) by editing to reply. You’re breaking the rules to influence others to your opinions, and you study people breaking the rules to influence others to their opinions.

Thanks for pointing out the irony!

This is actually a great example:

- I broke the rules (code as law), but was transparent about it

- You held me accountable

- Others can read our exchange and adjust their trust (in me in particular)

That's a good outcome, I guess!
