I read it as good-humoured incredulity, something like: "This comment is so intriguingly bizarre, I don't where to begin making sense of it – can anyone explain?"

Sounds like you read it as something like: "I am angry that I don't understand this comment and I demand others stop what they are doing and explain it to me immediately."

Either of us could be right, but it doesn't matter, and I'm happier!

Wanting explanation for this is exactly what I didn't understand.
