I sincerely don't think so. Look at the subject of the sentence. In the
first case, the OP is the target. In the second case, what he said is
the target. There's a world of difference there.

I would assume that Pascal had a hard time writing what he meant on that
one, and agree with the statement that his intervention was not polite,
or let's face it, rude.
