Yes, I had this same observation when I first started using the internet about twenty years ago, and care in this regard has been ingrained into my online behavior ever since. But whether it's online or off, we all have to learn not to be constantly paranoid that others are trying to offend us. The commenter, though, seems rather "special" in that he hasn't adapted as such.

You'll notice that I did try to explain that I meant no harm from the start of the commenter's ugly digressions. But it seems like he only picks up on individual words that look offensive to him without understanding the context or meaning. So my effort to be friendly and understanding just made the situation worse. For future reference, though, I like your suggestion to keep my response to this sort of personality as short as possible, as in a single one-clause sentence that lacks any even mildly difficult vocabulary.
