I suspect that was the reason for their comment in the first place. More of a demonstration. Your reaction, however, is a great example of just how much nuance is lost in the medium and how easily it can be for someone to be labeled offensive when in-fact the intention behind the statement was anything but.
Thank you.
Regardless, lesson learned.
Call it the paradox of the paradox of intolerance -- intolerance can be laundered in under the umbrella of not tolerating intolerance.
