Sabotaged is a politically biased way of describing the events here. The reality is different as my sibling comment pointed out

Confusing: you haven't written a sibling comment? What are you talking about? Did you use a second account?
Did I use the term incorrectly? A sibling comment is someone else’s comment that shares a parent comment, is it not? I’ve seen others use this term
I think that the confusion is with the word my. If you had said a sibling comment, it would likely have been immediately clear. Linking or quoting the sibling comment would avoid linguistic ambiguity altogether.
I see. I will try that next time
Are you your own sibling?
> sibling (n.) (computing theory) A node in a data structure that shares its parent with another node.

> share (v.) To have or use in common

> another (det.) Not the same; different

Being one’s own sibling is incompatible with the accepted definitions, so no.
