I'm not sure I understand, would you clarify this for me? It's been my experience that pure reaction is usually bad for discourse, so I'd like to know more.

Going from the context of the comment, I believe parent meant something along the lines of:

At least, that was my first impression, definitely could be interpreting the comment incorrectly.
