If you think I went around looking to dig up dirt

It doesn't matter, you can't toss stuff like that at people here, never mind characterize it the way you did, as a form of argument. It's in the guidelines, there are lots of moderator comments bout it, don't be doing it.

I thought that was appropriate here given the dismissive tone of GP.

It's not, no matter how 'dismissive' you think a comment is.
