I think it was the way you summed up his position as "I'm thinking
about moving here, but maybe, maybe not" that struck some people as
sounding snide, as if you felt he was expressing a sense of privilege
and were mocking that. (I didn't think you were, btw, but can see how
someone could.) It's that whole thing about not being able to read
tone of voice on the internet.
