I think I must have totally misunderstood her then. My analogy wasn't meant to have anything to do with political power or politician's personal responsibility.

I thought she was implying that your post was unimportant and/or worthless because she felt that there were more important things to worry about, and so I compared it to a similar situation of a commenter telling someone else that they shouldn't worry about whatever they're writing about because there are (to the commenter) more important things to worry about.

If it was offensive for other reasons, it was unintentional and careless, and I apologize.
