I wouldn't take it personally even if it was delivered to you as a personal attack.

I like most of the folk over there, too, but there are a few people who immediately spin everything negatively no matter what. That happens everywhere, just observing that it's there, too. I'm not judging, and I'm not saying they're always wrong, but we do - as humans - seek out that which reinforces our POV. And if we can't find something that does explicitly, we'll take the implicit and shape it as needed.
