Person a: I like the blue stuff in oranges Person b: what are you even talking about? Oranges do not have a blue inside.

Now what is a swipe about this or breaking a guidline. It did give the impression ( to me at least) as if I was being picked on. But I think in reality you probably misunderstood the tone and intent. Of course this is just my opinion, what you say is the law here and I intend to abide.

I believe you, but intent unfortunately doesn't communicate itself well in internet forums, so the burden is on the commenter to disambiguate.

In this case the phrase was one that commonly communicates dismissiveness, which is why I interpreted you the way I did. If you read the guidelines it's clear that (to take your example) such a reply can be shortened to "Oranges do not have a blue inside".

However: no harm done! I appreciate your reply and your intention.
