I for one don't think you deserved a suspension. Your only real mistake is the threat to flag someone else's comments instead of disengaging, which transforms an argument about the technical topic into an argument about someone else's manners; essentially that's an ad hominem. However, I can see where that comment came from after you were told to "stop", which is also not nice.

In a perfect world, @Tetsujin should have simply ignored your comment instead of telling you to stop, and you, when told to stop, should have done so. If you believe your comment provides information without which the answer is not correct or complete, you can also downvote, since the author clearly won't be using it.

I believe a suspension was rather uncalled for. You were having an argument about an answer, not just attacking a user for the sake of it. It doesn't matter (for the purpose of moderation) who were right in the argument, what matters is that at some point your dialog was no longer constructive, so you should have been told to disengage. I see no indication that you would have ignored a message from the mod telling you to stop: that's when the suspension is typically warranted.

Try to take this the right way: don't get insulted even if you feel a mod was not 100% fair (nobody feels that when they are suspended!), instead, think about how you can improve so that the situation doesn't happen again. And trust me, the way you were handled is nowhere near the point where a mod should be asked to explain themselves. It's a hard job where you have to take decisions and you know upfront no decision will please everyone.
