Some people seem unaware that others take issue with how they communicate and not what they communicate

the way you are responding to some one who asked you a pretty mild question (assuming they were personally offended rather than asking about a potential communication issue) suggests there is some validity here.

I don't think it was mild, they more or less implied I was an asshole at work because they didn't like an adjective I used years after the fact.

Sure the phrasing was gentle, but the actual statement was quite offensive, presumptuous, and prudish.
