1. You were told the truth about those pictures, yet you persisted. It doesn't matter if you intended this person to snap or not at this point.
2. Really? Public criticism means you're not getting out of this quietly and unscathed. I think, it's very effective in this regard.
I will not ban you for being an idiot. But I'm responsible to tell everyone that I recognize you being an idiot, so that a) you know better next time b) everyone knows that this is not on me or mastodon.ml, but on you.

1. vision of truth is personal for everyone. (edit)
2. If you truly want someone to accept your point of view, rather than publicly denying it to save face, public criticism is not a good option. What is your goal? If it's to publicly scold, then it's fine. But if it's to suggest an alternative opinion and make the person think, then it's a poor choice.
