What was inflammatory? 

I insulted anti-feminist amateur evolutionary psychologists.

Also: I find it wryly interesting that a post with a good point and informative links would be judged inflammatory in an article about not getting offended.

;-)

(Actually, I hadn't noticed that, but that's a great reason (excuse?) to not edit my comment.)

I think both you and ialdabaoth have missed the point of the post. It is definitely not an invitation to be more inflammatory. It encourages not taking offense because taking offense has negative side effects. To the extent those side effects matter provoking them in others would also seem undesirable.
