I disagree about being passive-aggressive because I don't think that I was, nor was that my intent.
In a world where a subtle, gentle way of saying "please do your homework before stating something like 'we are left with a feeling of general satisfaction'", backed by plenty of examples is experienced as passive-aggressive and rudeness, then I don't understand the world any more. It's certainly not the world I knew and grew up in.
Think not less of me for it: not all of us are such good communicators and I'm aware of my limitations, such as they might be. I did it the best way I could think of and that wasn't good enough at all.
My remedial action will be to be direct with you, as you've requested, if our paths should cross again.
