Astonishing, the inability or unwillingness of some to see anything but black or white, all or nothing! I have no problem with interjections. The conversation moved on with enat just fine, and I didn't understand why YOU were telling me what HE meant. If you wanted to say what YOU might mean by those words, that's fine. If you wanted to carry the conversation along, that would be fine too, of course!
But I'd venture to suggest that enat is the world's foremost expert on what HE meant by his words.

Right, and if he doesn’t know or can’t explain it , Mrs. enat will gladly tell you what he meant and he will readily agree.
It’s the way you wrote it that was a little offensive and unkind and a bit hostile.
