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.
Thanks. One response:
