Your latter source was “you sound like a basket case… touch grass” which has a completely different tone and somewhat different content.

I'd strongly recommend people read through mods' "no personal attacks" admonishments and the comments to which they're responding to. These often make the point that even a very mild (and unintentional) barb can read far more biting than it was written:

This case is borderline, but I suspect mods would find it on the far side of that border. The original comment reads better without the swipe.

Eh actually, on review of all the material, I fall more on your side. The original comment did have a (very mild) personal attack in it at the end of the day.

Thanks, and yes it can be quite subtle.
