If we're just throwing accusations of logical fallacies back and forth now, than I'd point out we've reached the point in the conversation where we're having a literal tone argument. I don't find this to be a pedantic tone (my read is that they're adding detail rather than making a pedantic correction), if you do I don't see how I can convince you or be convinced by you, so I think we'll have to agree to disagree.
(To clarify, I don't mean to suggest these rules should be held to the standard of formal logic; maybe a better way to explain my criticism would be to say, if you leave a noisy complaint in response to a comment, you are responsible for your actions, not the commenter you're responding to. I can choose to leave a noisy comment in response to any post, no matter how careful someone is with their tone or how well they follow the guidelines; if I did so, it would be no one's responsibility but my own. I can't use my reaction to justify my reaction. Similarly, we can't criticize this comment as resulting in us defining a tangent; you and I made that choice.)
