I believe you about your intent, but intent doesn't communicate itself in internet comments, so the burden is on the commenter to disambiguate. In this context the word "just" is very much a trope of shallow dismissals ("why don't you just", "can't you just", "this is just", etc.), so the ambiguity went against you.
