It read to me that you were upset and offended and you wrote a lot in response.
I wouldn’t say I was offended. Even if the author is wrong about some facts about me, it’s not like they should know those facts about me? Which seems like it would be needed for me to feel offended?
I was maybe a bit upset? I would have called it annoyance but “slightly upset” is reasonable as a descriptor. For A, B, D and E my reaction feels mostly like “I’m confused why this seems like a decent argument for your thesis”, and for C it was more like being upset.
The original post or my comment?
In either case, why?
I agree with your comment.

I didn’t think the OP seemed good to me, either in content or rhetoric.
Below is a screenshot of a draft of a larger comment that I didn’t share until now, raising my concerns.
(It’s a half written draft, it just contains fragments of thoughts).
I wish people could see what is possible and what has been costly in animal welfare.
I wish they knew how expensive it is carry around certain beliefs and I wish they could see who is bearing the cost for that.
Thanks. One response:
