This is in no-one's dictionary "chastising" (random dictionary plucked from search):

> chastising (Entry 1 of 2) inflicting, involving, or serving as punishment

As for "judging" - this seems proportionate. E.g. while I think your judgment is poor when you use these words, I don't think a valid criticism of your comment is that you are "judging" anything. By this definition, almost everything anyone says is "judging".



Interesting, my dictionary says:

> chas·tise

> /ˈCHasˌtīz,ˌCHaˈstīz/

> verb

> rebuke or reprimand severely.

> "he chastised his colleagues for their laziness"

I disagree with what you said about "judging" as it pertains to how you interpret what I said, but I don't have anything to further clarify for you.

In any case, I hope you can now agree these claims weren't inventions.
