Since PP gifts aren't actually banned ...

"Immediately": I happened to be reading the same thread as you. The timing was a coincidence. I guess you added the adjective for illustrative purposes.

"Scolded": If calling you out for suggesting something was "frowned upon" then I am guilty. PP as a gift isn't against the rules and until that changes I don't see why you felt the need to add that to the thread.

That thread had all kinds of other actual infractions that you were welcome to point out, but you stuck with your own personal hot button issue.

I'm sure it was a coincidence, but how does that make the use of the word "immediately" wrong? Should I have said "within minutes", or "shortly after", or "in no time", etc.? If it makes you feel better, feel free to substitute them.

Because if I had been a more timid member, I probably would have backed down and never posted on a sales thread again. Which is probably what you would have liked. But I'm definitely not timid, quite the opposite, plus I was in a bad mood, as I stated, so I added to the thread.

As I said in the sales thread, I was trying to be diplomatic, and just wanted to make the seller aware of the new rules. I created this thread, because afterwards I realized I probably could have worded it better. However, you may want to take note that the Admins/Mods removed the thread giving "No PP as gift" as the reason for doing so.
