Yes. that is correct, and I fully agreed when you wrote that earlier too.

I was just questioning your earlier statement: “Totally not agree. Buddha Dhamma is not about poking out eyes nor destroying objects of affection for that eye.”.
No one made such a claim.

We need to be careful about not taking another person’s comments out of context.

It is better to QUOTE what another person has written, if a rebuttal is needed. That way, there is no misunderstanding as to what is being refuted.
