I understood your points, thank you. By the way, yes, the problem was my understanding, because I really though the question is based on inquirer's misconception. After I got some explanations, I re-voted. (And only by that reason, not in response to your criticism, which I respect anyway.) The really abusive was just the unacceptable wording addressed to people, no matter by what reason.
Thank you for the explanation of your points.

Please allow me to give my opinion.
Disclaimer: I am going to use an explicit example, but I think it makes it easier to visualize my point.
Imagine an enquirer inside a puddle of liquid guano. Some of your comments asking for more information could be undesrtood like sitting next to him in dry floor and asking: Did you know it was so fetid when you jumped in?
At the end they don't care much about knowing if it is bat's, cow's or pig's defecations. He just need a rope or something to get out of it.
You know I respect you and I don't want you to think this as a personal attack, because it is not.

"the inquirer ... asking for motivation for down-vote on the question"
They can go find themselves.

Sorry Mr. Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov
I respect your knowledge very much and I've learned a lot from you and never want to miss this!
But this here is simply something like "playing God"!
Yours sincerely.

I do think that "playing God" is just your misconception, but I'm truly thankful for your nice words and your criticism alike.

Think about this. Here is a guy who is a steady contributer to the site who asks a question which some people understand implicitly and others do not. He gets into quite long discussions about this misunderstanding which he handles with civility. He gets downvoted anonymously and has a spit without really offending anyone. Then much more discussion which is also conducted in a civil manner. Now we are talking about whether to kick him off the site? wtf?

No, I posed it as a question. We already discussed everything with this person. This is not about kicking a person off, but about not tolerating certain things. This is what I think.
Your opinion is important to me.

Thanks SA. My view is that in any public arena language and tone should be civil. Euphemisms have to be generally acceptable - that is why they exist in language. This is not a science and subjectivity plays a part which is why we have in our law the concept of a "reasonable person". There is always the option to remind someone of the standards or to tell them that something they have said is offensive. Just incidentally in our law the concept of provocation also carries weight. I know these laws are not universal but they are the principles that guide me.
