That was unnecessarily combative and melodramatic. There are better ways of making point, may be the expectation of politeness is "abusive and disrespectful" to you as well. The comment reeks of persecution complex
Maybe they have actually been persecuted because of what their body naturally pefers sleep wise?
I'm not surprised that someone who sounds like they've been bullied over this would have their upset show through when they speak about something that directly related to this.
It was possibly meant as a joke but there well maybe some truth in it. As a long suffering insomniac, I am surely crabbier when I get worse sleep than the usual.
