To respond to the same question twice:

You clearly imagine he/she gave that example in an effort to "rile people up", or are at least alluding to that as a strong possibility that others should consider. How you can come to that conclusion (out of an infinitude of hypotheticals) from the given information, I do not know.

But to me, it may be a sign that you're looking for things that aren't there. I urge you to consider how in touch with reality you are.

Sigh. You didn't add anything to the conversation. And this is the internet. Of course people will post things to rile others up. If you don't think that's a possibility, then I'd have to suggest you're the one out of touch with reality.
