Dont take it personally. It was not directed only to your response, but
to all the responses that seem to notch up the temperature by a few degrees
here.

Cribbing means complaining. Fairly light word. A strong word would be
something like "shouted" or "exploded" in this case.

I am quite pedagogical when it comes to my knowledge
of  English, so here is some reference.

Cribbing: "Complaining, A mild form of whining".

Not much strength there.

 Of course not, but IMHO, which I am entitled to, the eruptions of
self-righteous
 objections, were complaints which I felt didn't have much ground. Hence the
 use of "cribbing".

As I said, it was not a personal comment. I happened to choose your email
to reply to the thread in general.

The list is for healthy discussions. When someone says "you", it needn't
be directed against a particular person, but to a group who express
an opinion.

You seem to be taking all this too personally. Chill.
