I think they were trying to cite concrete examples, not exercise any form of revenge. It's not like they called them names or anything.

still seems petty.

I think they were going for "funny". It worked, imo.

Don't use the word hate, you're just letting sf frame the conversation. Saying it's not good enough isn't hate.
