Yes but you commented on a global website, so your previous generalist statement definetly doesn't apply to everyone reading it :)
It's a US site and a US court.
US law is the only thing relevant to the case being discussed.
Thats why I stated at the top that more specifically there is no "US Federal law..."
And that's why they specifically referred to "your previous generalist statement" where you didn't do that.
Listen, they either reply to the comment they wanted to reply to, or they did it wrong. They replied to the comment that prefaced with a statement about US Law in particular. It should be clear to them that the statement applies to US Law.
Then share your local law. Don't be pissy that Americans are clarifying for other Americans.
America is such a small country though, no one would assume anything said online is directed at it's miniscule population without an explicit reference.
Whoops, your bias is showing.
