As other people have pointed out, this type of feedback isn't inherently offensive, and it's better to take it as a compliment, it just depends on the way it's couched (and you make a good point about whether there have been other attacks on the particular subgenre.) What's interesting is that the reader feels the need to put in that as context for their feedback. I can't recall if I've ever felt the need to start fb in that way, but I have spent a lot of time wondering if I want to tell an author how I came to find their work seeing as I'm writing this e-mail, post, well, cold?
