That was somewhat facetious and self-aggrandizing
Also 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.

Pretty sure I was having a normal conversation with someone and you splashed in to call me out for something without a whole lot of thought. There’s no “threat”, none of this is that serious, I wish you peace and introspection

Well I’m petty sure you were coming across as obnoxious and the vote count seems to agree.
If most people are interpreting the things you said earlier in the thread negatively, maybe the cause is in the writer than the reader.
Maybe have another look and see if you mightn’t have written a bit of a sourpost originally, and reconsider your tone next time if you genuinely mean no harm.
