I'm playing armchair psychologist here at 1am (not the only one), but this kind of comment is the definition of passive-aggressive.

You started on a good samaritan stance but upon being challenged, their comment is 'disturbing', doesn't make sense, and is in bad faith. Then you say you don't give a shit, but evidently you do enough to write a long response, ending on sarcastic good wishes for dramatic effect.

    "Passive-aggressive behavior is a pattern of indirectly 
     expressing negative feelings instead of openly addressing 
     them. There's a disconnect between what a person who 
     exhibits passive-aggressive behavior says and what he or she does."

If you really cared about people doing whatever they want, one would expect you to happily chat about their preferences and findings; instead, your default answers read dismissive and as a polite "fuck off". In that case everyone would be better off by not commenting at all. What are we here for anyway?

This:

  I wish you health, happiness and success. Have a good day.

Was not sarcastic at all.

I have no issue with GP that would cause me to wish them ill.

In fact, illustrating that was the reason I wished them well.
