That comment also seems very reasonable to me and probably doesn't deserve the response it got.

The other one does make sense to me though (but would be better in a different context) and echoes my own personal frustration with the "don't be ridiculous" dismissal of concern for things going on in the face of a blatant pattern (which perhaps you don't agree is a pattern with your implication that the higher things in that list haven't been dismissed as ridiculous then immediately happened).
