Calling out the sarcasm for being misaimed is not the same as missing the sarcasm.
> the polite way I pointed out that you had clearly missed the sarcasm?
That wording makes your comment just as hostile as theirs. If that's the intent you had in your first comment, well, you went first. Not much room to complain about low-level tit-for-tat hostility at that point.
I think saying "I think" softens it and additionally it isn't accusational unlike "It seems that it was you, who are unfamiliar with its background and implication." (emphasis mine)
But I think tone on the internet is difficult to read.
And I had no negative intent in noting the sarcasm. I didn't think the replier realised it, and I'm still not convinced they do.
