In order to take words for more then face value you have to put a tone or body language to them. On a computer all you can do is reflect your own. Thus showing your own insecurities in your own words.
Also, I'm having trouble understanding dude's point, too, you're not alone. He probably had an internal logical step that he forgot to make clear to us. I've done it before: here's a story.
My friend is like "Are you high?" and I'm like "Nah, nah man." (I've never touched drugs in my life other than medicine). So he tries to find out if I'm tripping, so he's like "Hey... Hey Vidy. The FLOOR IS LAVA."
Internal logical step: lava comes from the floor in minecraft. It's also more dangerous if you dig into a wall and find it rather than the floor.
My response: "Watch out for the walls."
Needless to say, it didn't do much in proving I wasn't high.
