No, this did not use this "feature". We used the rules that everyone
would agree are not a bug, and you just don't understand them well enough.

This is wrong. I once accidentally moved 400 men in 1 ship, leaving it
stuck. It took us 4 turns to get another ship in to rescue them.
Alternately, you might be talking about some naval actions in the
Camaris Straights, which used conventional rules which everyone would
agree that is not a bug.

The worst thing about this are the accusations of bug-use when
conventional play is happening. It is not my job to teach you the
rules, nor to explain when I use the rules that everyone agrees are
not bugs in surprising ways.

This is also not true. The Rimmon players saw the evidence you did and
then experimented to figure out how the "feature" worked. I guess they
are smarter than you are. But again you have accused me of something I
did not do. I cannot ever defend myself against such accusations.

This is why I wanted to quit the game when you started accusing me,
but my allies won't let me. I do not want to play in a game where I am
constantly accused of things I didn't do by people who have admitted
they abused bugs.
