If the post was really meant as a private, "in your ear whisper", 
message about a most serious matter then I wouldn't have made my comment.

But the post was also cross-posted to what I now found out was the 
private moderator mail list which, therefore, advised them, basically, 
"This is what I have just sent this person to put him in his place. 
Watch out for his future behaviour and we can then put him on the "To be 
Moderated list if he doesn't behave or bar him from the list".

Just a couple of comments here. If I send a private message to someone 
relating to a matter mentioned in a thread I will start my message with 
words which indicate in no doubt that I am sending a private, off the 
list, message - and if anyone has any idea of netiquette then they will 
know that the contents of the message cannot be made public without the 
sender's approval.

The second comment is that I will answer public messages publicly and 
private messages privately.

Then change the name to something along the lines of "admin" and not 
"owners".

I take it from this that you are using it now as one of us plebs, right? 
:-) And I therefore salute you!:-)
