The insistence on villainizing the OP is unfortunate as while I didn't agree with them seeking more compensation beyond what was given and said as much upthread I have tried given them the benefit of the doubt that the version of events was more or less accurate though it's become obvious you feel otherwise.
We've done the first bit to death so no more from me.
With respect to your second point .... where is anyone giving any benenfit of the doubt to the line? And to give the opposing view - a thread of this type changes completely (IMHO) when a complainer names the product.
If it had been a genuine request for impartial advice then it could have been accomplished by heading the thread "Flood issue .... should I seek compensation". In my view naming the line changes the tenor of the thread and introduces a dimension to it that changes the intention from advice seeking to what feels and seems like coercion and almost blackmail.
