    That could be it but text certainly doesn’t help, since it’s difficult to convey and interpret tone. It’s a widely acknowledged issue with text based communication. I think the correction plus the to the point structure of the correction might have been it. Even just prepending a padding statements like FWIW are the social lubricant needed to ease the tone into friendly/neutral territory. That’s just my opinion, if that communication style works for you that’s fine too.
