or was there a particular aspect to my offhanded comments that particularly triggered you?

Why yes, there was.

The part where you criticized some random teens for going after 'low hanging fruit' when apparently they're supposed to be tackling global problems instead. Especially the hypocritical part of that, because you're also doing nothing about those global problems.

Hypocrites annoy me. And I don't usually spend so much time harassing them, but I do enjoy harassing a hypocrite when I see one so blatant.
