I wasn't the one who changed your thread title, but I'd guess the difference is that your title could be read as a generalized attack ("environmental wackos"). Some on this board consider themselves environmentalists. Whereas Hap's title refers to a public figure. If he'd instead said "Hillary supporters are delusional" then I think you'd have a case, because there may be Hillary supporters on this board. You are allowed to attack public figures, you are not allowed to attack posters. And that includes attacking groups of posters (liberals, environmentalists, democrats, etc).
Now, you could make the argument that you were referring to only the few people you cited in your post as environmental wackos, and that you had no intention of tarring all environmentalists with the same brush. That would be a fine defense in theory, but unfortunately, your posting history and your own followups in this thread tend to discredit that argument.
