If this happens "so often", perhaps there's a conclusion that you should draw from this?

This is the sort of "mentality" I've often seen on message boards. Someone generalises, using a "big brush" (whether deliberately or accidentally) and then "can't see" why others take exception to it.

The fact that your comments can be interpreted (not "twisted") in this way, suggests that you are making excessively broad remarks.

However this is off topic for this thread, so I hope to leave it here.
