I'm not expert in civil issues particularly, so I suspect that there are more caveats to your comment than may be possible to explain in a forum post.
Nonetheless, it is uncivil, unnecessary and pointless.
eg. saying that someone has acted in a stupid manner is different than saying that they are stupid.
One is a comment, the other simply offensive. ("Protected" or not.)
