To me, the difference was the use of the word "you" in the body of the post, in a context where you seemed to be addressing a comment to Emmy. The only thing that was different was that the box "add name of previous poster" was not checked.
Speaking of people in the third person would appear to be within the guidelines, by my understanding. Admittedly, I have always found it to be a rather limited rule. Because, by my understanding, if you were to address a post to Dr. Bob or the board at large and express regret at causing the issuer of the DNP any distress you would be fine. If you were to comment to the board or to Dr. Bob about the content of the post without mentioning the poster, that would be fine. But if you address the issuer of the DNP directly, it isn't.
Dr. Bob may well disagree and rescind my action. You can email him if you like.
