Social Media Etiquette

Thanks for clarifying, I pointed out, "tone" is not the right word, in my original tweet I called the response "tone deaf", which is what I meant.

I'd hardly call it an ad hominem attack in this context--I'm not calling for them to be civil, I'm calling them out for ignoring my actual grievences, I think that is a fair complaint.

You literally said "But the tone is incredibly poor". If it didn't communicate what you'd intended that's cool, I am in favour of you recanting and changing your words. But if you're going to argue that those specific words that you used are not tone policing (which is by definition ad hominem) I've made my case in opposition and am good to let it stand as is.

Yes, that is what I mean, it is my mistake, I misspoke and did not say what I intended to communicate.

I intended to convey that the tone deafness of the reply makes for a poor response.

You may still consider this “tone policing” but as a resident it’s frustrating that the only response the city has given me after repeated engagement is to chastise me for what public profiles I @tted. I find that “tone deaf” on their part.
