7. Your comment was just generalisations about the article and it was condescending. That's irony

Whether what you say about the article is true or not is not relevant. What is relevant, and ironic, is that your reply precisely described itself as much as it described the article.

That you did not see the irony just turns what was ordinary irony into dramatic irony.

Cheers.
