I was upset and said things I regret and which the poster didn't deserve. I apologized but I still feel bad about it.

Not that it excuses my behavior, but I have mentioned this elsewhere - e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/qc4bxd/outperformi... - but I also can't blame anyone for not knowing that.

Edit: I decided to edit the original comment to make my feelings about it clear for anyone else who comes across it in the future.

It's commendable to reflect so publicly on this and to make it clear that you made a mistake. Not that it means much, but this comment and the one you linked actually softened my view on this debacle considerably.
