It's not about being better, it's about what gets one banned and what doesn't.

Sure, that might not good either depending on how it is phrased. Just by responding to a post we implicitly tell someone what we think they mean, and asking someone what they mean is common (since communication can be difficult), but it's also possible to put words in someone's mouth which isn't good.

No, because obviously forum moderation supercedes such a rule.

Then find a better way to do it (EDIT: It meaning "disrupting his attack" without being generally disruptive). We can't decide what you post, but we can decide if you post it here.
But you do have a point about being on topic, if you wish to discuss it further send me a PM.
