That reply seems like a classic example of a “speech act confusion:” https://ojs.lib.uwo.ca/index.php/fpq/article/view/8168/11031 I thought this paper’s way of analyzing interactions like this was really sharp, even useful. Don’t know if you’ll find it interesting at all, but sharing just in case.
(Either way, I’m sorry that you continue to get this crap in your replies.)
