People get defensive when they feel belittled or attacked. That is normal. That may well have not been your intent, but it may be how a reader being posted to takes it.
Frankly we all have ways of seeing things and reading others opinions without having to pick it apart of give it a review expecting that it will come across as the intellectually superior or the more correct or more studied view.
So if it seems defensive it is because your response felt offensive whether it was intended or not.
