Parent used language highly associated with taking something very personally: -"Wait, how exactly is [...]?" as if indignant. - Scare quotes, as in "personal space" -The "First, [...]. Secondly, [...]." dialectical pattern, suggesting someone feeling attacked on multiple fronts. - "drop the pretense", suggesting said author was ostentatiously holding up a lie. - "fear is bad, mkay", characterizing the author as a South Park hick. - "[...] work just fine, thank you.", subtextually suggesting the person had crossed a boundary of decorum. - "Oh, and, edit, just because", which is a common semantic pattern of emotional self-defense, e.g. "And another thing!" - "Please, age of phrenology is over.", a red herring, attempting to undermine a theory by associating it with a formally disproved theory. - "God. Damn. It.", resorting to frustrated cursing post-rant, suggesting the person has more feelings they'd like to elate. Generally, when someone responds with language of that sort it suggests the idea struck a chord. My interest in the parent's comment was purely jocose.
