I don't think anything I said was belittling you, but rather your actions. There is a difference.
It might very well be a sensitive subject for you. Does that mean you should interpret everything, include witty's original comments, as being a personal affront? If you want empathy, you have to display empathy yourself, rather than calling someone's viewpoint "crap", especially when it's also coming from a place of pain.
