I get what you mean. I usually try to assume good intent when I can, and there really wasn’t any reason for someone to be aggressive here. If it was the intent, it really came out of the blue.
My problem is that I literally can’t see a well-intended reading of it. “even if someone is in a 3rd world country they still need their dopamine” is not a reading of their comment that makes any sense to me even after it’s been pointed out as a possibility, and it certainly isn’t one I could come to myself.
Neither of us were to have known this at the time, but their other two (more recent) comments in this thread have also been, to put it mildly, quite curt. Which retrospectively makes me feel like my interpretation was more accurate.
