No, or rather yes, that's fair to ask. One of the points of this post is that I wanted people's opinions on if there was an instance of that pattern here, and several people, including you, don't think there is.
... that said, I think pointing out the context of her post is indeed fair. Not that I want to get into a line by line reading, but when she cited "But the Voting Rights Act!" as one of the things people said that harshed her squee... it's as if she couldn't even see why people might have a problem with that decision, you know? And in the context of many people saying "feminism is more important than racism" or "gay rights is THE new civil rights movement..." What we say fits into a context.
I keep going back and forth on this, because I see why people think my reading goes too far, but I also still see why I read it the way I did.
