Not so much that people have called me out on it, just that it's a tired provokative way of speaking that I get really sick of hearing people say, or type, whether it's directed at me or someone else in the room/forum. Also could be that someone peed in my cornflakes that morning and I decided to go pick a fight. I wouldn't flatter myself thinking someone considered me to be their nemesis after one teeny little flamy post if I were in your position.
