It's certainly true that overweight people tend to run a little warmer. It's just a brute consequence of more insulation. We are not abstract thinking machines, but rather embedded in the physical world. My weight has fluctuated over the years, and when I'm carrying more pounds, I definitely notice that temperatures I used to feel comfortable at now cause me discomfort.
As for the implication. I really didn't imply anything. I have no idea of expounded's weight. Being overweight would be one explanation of his experience, but not the only one. I didn't know, so I asked. It certainly seems to be a touchy subject for him or her.
