There is no bait to be taken "my friend", I simply judge by the rule of personal insult. Had he responded to you or mentioned your name it would have been gone in an instant, since this was not the case the post remains. Simple...
Actually, I had kinda hoped the case would be the reverse, because I would have quickly removed the post and would have clearly told you that I will from this point on be holding your posts to the same standard of decency as set by your complaint. But alas, out of fairness I have left the post in place and not put any self imposed standards on your behavior...
