Let's talk about those four words:

1. Your comment is claiming that my comment is overgeneralized? It is not.

2. I will grant my reply may be uninteresting to you. Unfortunately it did seem to push one of your buttons, which may suggest that there's something in it worthy of examination. Whatever I see someone reply so strongly to criticism in meetings or mediations it tells me more about the person than the critique.

3. My comment is not a rant. It was far too brief for that.

4. My comment was not speculation. (I am quite sure the words reflect my assessments of your comment.)

Therefore, saying "ditto" doesn't make sense. I think in your mind you thought "ditto" because you perceived my comment as an attack and you wanted to reply in kind.
