That was how I saw it, too, and why I let it go. However:

> bit·ter
> Having or being a taste that is sharp, acrid, and unpleasant.
> Causing a sharply unpleasant, painful, or stinging sensation; harsh
> Difficult or distasteful to accept, admit, or bear
> Proceeding from or exhibiting strong animosity

And I can certainly see how that could lead others to feel accused or put down. So, please don't make any more comments like that.

The issue isn't whether inferences are supported, but whether they could lead others to feel accused or put down.
