But beyond mere disagreement, to characterize such a comment as offensive (because it criticizes people who don’t respond to questions), is something I find offensive.
The comment is offensive because it communicates things other than its literal words. Autistically taking it apart word by word and saying that it only offends because it is criticism ignores this implicit communication.
