If a comment like the one you quoted is considered "attacking someone", then I guess I can see how my posts are constantly perceived as me attacking people. I don't see how one is not allowed to simply disagree, ask for clarification, or flat out try to DISCUSS something without it being considered an attack. I'm not really totally even talking about your post specifically but just a generic thing that happens at times. Text, and the lack of emotions intended being hidden, plays a part in it, but are we really at the point in culture where anything short of an act of full and total agreement, compliance, and obedience can be seen by a fair number as verbally attacking them? I find it especially odd given that so many times others will openly go beyond such phrasings to say things like "You're a fucking moron", "Go fuck yourself", and similar and then take the stance that the other is being overly sensitive. Its just such a glaring contrast in forum "interaction".
I'm not talking about disagreeing. I have no problem with people disagreeing. Read the forums where I have long, meaningful discussions with people that disagree with me.

These are clear signs of a person taking an intellectual high ground. On a statement they clearly misread. Am I upset with MilkBubble? No, not really. She misread a comment and then attempted a rebuttal to a point that she felt that I had.
I stated that attacking me in an inflammatory sense is a bad idea. It still is. I don't respond to confrontation softly. If you attempt to make me look like an idiot in a public forum, I will chop your legs off and tote them around town square. MilkBubble doesn't seem the type of person (to me) that takes kindly to statements about her character.
Also, I was agreeing with her, and to have somebody spit back in your face when that happens, it upsets me. I used language to effectively communicate that.
