> don't take it so personal

This is out of line. It's you who should not have made a personal slight in the first place; if "the context was missing", that only means you didn't know what you were talking about.

Nobody gets to impugn specific people's lives like that here. Since your account is new we'll assume that you didn't know this, but please read the guidelines and in the future, post civilly and substantively or not at all.
