I think it might be possible to add to the Google search box:

(I realise you may not realise that you were being rude. This is an
FYI: you were, not just to those people, not even just to all of us who
like and respect those people, but also to the group at large. It is
possible to dislike a person without feeling the need to mention it at
every opportunity, and indeed of such restraint is the grease that oils
the social interactions of a diverse group such as rasfc.)

R.L. (since you escalated this one)

I'm sorry you see it that way. I was just trying to explain politely
why I thought your post was both unhelpful (in three ways) and rude (to
both the group member and the newbie).

FWIW, I once got an email from in another group who attempted to
reassure me by dissing someone I'd been arguing with. I was very much
in the mood to be reassured, and to be grateful to anyone who did so --
but I did *not* appreciate a stranger trying to recruit me into their
personal feud with the person in question, and it only made me think
worse of that stranger.
