I slightly disagree. He didn't call what you were writing as BS he simply said that General Discussion is not a license to put up any BS.
My understanding of this would be used in the general sense like when I refer to someones stuff as S*it. I am not saying that their stuff is in fact a pile of dung, it is merely a colorful adjective to describe a pile general things.
I think you blew it a little out of proportion. I think the BS comment was a little bit of his humor.
But then again, I am not him and I can not speak for him. . . maybe he thinks your writing is BS. I just didn't take his statement to mean that.

Opinion is one thing , I have no problem at all with such opinions as "boring", "long winded" , "to many words", "unimaginative" "not funny" opinions like that are benign truths as the reader sees them to be, I have no problem with honest tuff opinions, but accusing me of a character deficit is personal attack not opinion on the writing.
Words such as ----> BS<----- is tantamount to calling me a liar that is negative at best.
I go on offense when I am personally attacked for "sharing
my true life mixed with my own brand of odd ball humor,.
Again I got no problem with anyone who says " it sucks", or "that was a crap story" , but when you say " I" suck and "I" am full of crap , I didn't ask for that I asked for opinions on my writing style.
Ya I can take the heat and I will stay in the kitchen
I am not doing anything destructive or negative, thus when a negative personal attack pops up about me personally I bring out the hammer.
Perhaps I am being overly sensitive & I have do some introspection.
