PS, almost every FReeper has been where you are now, they misread an article and made a comment that seemed stupid on the surface, and usually was, and learned to read articles all the way through before commenting, at least some of us learned, and we were harassed unmercifully for it, some of it a lot worse than you recieved. As I said, take your standard FR ribbing like an adult.
Take your ribbing like an adult, man.
