You: That was somewhat facetious and self-aggrandizing Also you: I’m the person who’s going to crack and redistribute your shit as soon as you publish it, nice to meet you :)

My brother in christ that’s the exact line I was referring to, what else in the wide world of reading comprehension do you think I was talking about?

Sounded to me like you were firing off at someone for having a private personal project by claiming that you would personally intervene to prevent them making any money from their code, then later you told them that they were being self aggrandizing. That’s how it comes across. You doubled down on your threat with detail, which doesn’t give readers the context to be able to deduce that you meant to be in the slightest bit self aware or apologetic, so without re-quoting yourself, it came across as hypocritical. Maybe “sorry, that was somewhat facetious and self-aggrandizing of me” and then not doubling down might have come across better. That’s what I think, anyway.
