But can you see how your comment is unfortunate giving the context of the discussion?

We all saw the context of OPs use of words, so I have no idea what it is that you were trying to add to the conversation.

No, I don't. I tried to point out that the beginning of that sentence is triggering something in me that the writer did not intend but that jumped out at me anyway. Whether you feel that that contributes to the discussion or not is not my problem. The same could be said for your comment, and yet, here we are. What strikes me is that just pointing something like that out would result in a barrage of comments all pointing out the same thing which I had already pointed out in the original comment: that I realized that it wasn't meant that way.

It’s not just you; I grimaced at the wording on first read.

Thanks for that vote of support, I haven't ever seen such an idiotic response to an innocent remark on HN before. I'm still confused about it, it's as if people read the first 4 words and not the rest of my comment and then decided to have a pile on orgy.
