You mispronounced genuinely polite. It is free to be so. Is that not allowed here when someone doesn’t have strong feelings? If you care here about here, you care too much imho, find something that matters to care about.
It's not polite to be condescending.
My comment was genuine. It is a genuine shame someone states they despise me with little additional context, and as I said, it doesn’t bother me and I do wish them well. Where was the condescending? Am I supposed to have strong feelings? Am I supposed to lash out? No, all unnecessary. “Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others". They are simply at a different point in their journey than I am.
How else would you politely respond to someone who comments only “I know. I despise you”?
