Sure, I believe you and have no quarrel with what you're saying here. The problem is that you didn't include any of that information in the GP comment, so there was no way to disambiguate it from garden-variety flamebait.

Since that's internet default when it comes to inflammatory topics, that's what a comment like the GP will pattern-match to, unless you explicitly disambiguate it (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...). The fact that your comment also added snark made this even more likely, as well as the fact that you've been posting unsubstantive and flamebait comments already.
