This comment seems willfully obtuse.
The person is referring to a pattern of behavior, ergo a series of comments and bad experiences. A comment that comes at the end of a series and culminates in someone trying to take corrective action is not “a single comment that led to” their action.
Please reflect on how much you might be mad/sad/hurt/fearful and saying foolish things. Maybe don’t say them, or at least come back and fix them later.

Very well. “a single comment which led to that other person openly object to that former person’s behavior”.

Again, I think you’re missing the point. This is about a pattern of behaviour.
Should I add the word “ultimately”?
