It's a statement of fact, if my reasoning holds. I agree I could have made my point without making it personal though. It's offensive in the same manner as saying your religion is a lie (also a statement of fact, but not one that will win any friends.)
(Secondarily: language like "your aversion is more emotional than logical" is best avoided on HN too. I appreciate your intention to be respectful, but it's still a gratuitously personal comment. If you converted it to an actually respectful expression of the point, you wouldn't need to label it "respectfully".)
