Gently, I'd ask you to consider reading both mine, and his, comments with some more grace, whether it be theirs with charity, or mine with respect for what I mean.

Their comment was absolutely not in bad faith.

With grace, I would say not everyone has as considered views as you do. That can make it challenging and frustrating to deal with because you know better.

It's worth showing them, or at least telling them, instead of discussing your opinion of their motivations for saying things, which we can agree is, at best, mind-reading among strangers in a textual format.
