Allow me a retort. If that was your goal I believe it would have been better if you had stated that in clear language in the beginning. The premise of this explanation of intent is fine but the method was lacking. The "childish" remark was clearly out of line and has created the type of friction that creates heat but no light. PM me if you have an issue with my opinion.
It is time to move past this issue.
I like the Will Rogers quote in your signature.
