"lmao at this guy [...] you can't be serious [...] I know you are though" pattern matches, to me at least, as a snarky putdown.

If you didn't intend it that way, it would probably be better to have expressed your point in a way that made that clearer. Past explanations about this, in case helpful: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

Hmm I was sharing how wildly uncalled for a comment like that was, to the point I found it amusing.

I guess I interpret personal attack as something like "your an idiot", which I don't think I was doing.
