Tone is tough online. You're probably trying to be helpful, but some people will read a strongly worded direct suggestion as unfounded criticism. Acknowledging the other opinion as valid before offering the suggestion is one way to soften the tone without massively changing the core of your point.

Well, honestly if someone can't contextualize tone on a forum they shouldn't be in a position to threaten mod actions. It's pretty important to be able to read things correctly.

The moderator explained it to you very clearly.

Your sentence, will not having an outright insult in it, did diminish the other person's experiences and perspectives.
