I don't think I'd have seen your comment as hostile if it had been a direct reply to the post. In that case, it would have looked like helpful proof-reading.

Huh. Thinking about it, I can see your point of view, but when I made the decision I had a strong emotional reaction in the other direction- that a top level comment about nothing but nitpicks would be perceived as an attack (which I wanted to avoid). Considering my track record, it would probably be best if I weighted your opinion higher than mine.
