If you don't think these comments reflect badly on you, wait until the online mob has had a few hours to get angry and then try explaining. Remember that anyone going after you can take comments out of context, add commentary to twist the perspective, and pull comments from arbitrarily far into the past (extra useful if you've ever changed your mind).
I disagree on the assessment of your picks of the GP's comments, and I'd urge everyone to read through them as well.
None of them is "mean/rude". Perhaps not watered-down to the modern PC norms, but they are perfectly fine and would've not been out of place in an in-person conversation.
You appear to be mistaking expressing an opinion for showing a disrespect or trying to offend someone. That's a slippery slope.
I wouldn't usually do this, but since you're arguing it's okay...
