AlexeyBrin's 'second sentence' was really their first. The previous sentence was a quote from the person they were responding to. That person said "I find his accent heavy but tolerable"
AlexeyBrin was specifically referring to the parent's choice of stating they found an accent in a text (which is why they italicized 'his accent', which you neglected to quote). AlexeyBrin was also using the root word 'find' (albeit in an improper conjugation) to parallel the same use of that word that they were responding to.
I agree with your point about accent carrying over into text, but I think you misunderstood some of the intent of the person you were responding to.
