Do you find this condescending?
"You seem to have misread his comment--he said 'bowing out now,' not 'for now.'"
If so, can you explain why? Whether you do or not, what significantly worse result would you expect from that response, as opposed to teasing him about it?
No. That is fine too. The teasing was inessential.
Well, that's as much politeness as I was talking about, so I still think it's no worse than bluntness would have been.
