Perhaps because of the snarky, accusatory way it was stated? "What does it matter" and "You made assumptions without knowing the facts..."
If you wish to differ with someone, how about starting with "I disagree with you because..." or "I believe you might not know all the facts."
Also, when a thread is started in a seemingly lighthearted way--no lecture, no digging in--ignoring the flavor of the post in favor of a drubbing puts others off. If the thread were something accusatory, all bets are off.
