Regardless of the colorability of your argument, you're responsible for how it hits and shapes the thread, and whether you intended to or not, you led off with a a clause that comes across "tee-hee aren't I edgy", which makes it difficult to read good faith into the rest of the comment. If you're writing something that could be misread as a step into a racewar thread, longstanding HN norms (let me know if you need admin cites) put the onus on you to write carefully so you won't be misread, and, in some cases, there's no way to effectively prevent those misreadings and you simply should not write the comment.
