I really think you're misreading the other commenter quite badly. Even if not, though, this is one of the guidelines that you, like all users here, are asked to follow:

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

Please don't miss this one either:

"Don't be snarky."

or this one:

"Be kind."
