What personal attack is there in what you quote?  No individual is 
mentioned, and he makes a completely valid criticism that applies to a 
wide range of individuals.  Contrariwise, your response specifically 
criticizes Oskar.  Which is more characteristic of a personal attack?  
If you really want Oskar to be moderated you should also be asking that 
the powers that be apply whatever may be the policy in a fair and 
uniform manner.

The rest of Oskar's message was very positive, and said far more good 
about the comments that contributors were making.
