Were you respectful in how you spoke? Sometimes it's the tone rather than the content. But, yes, some people take the darnedest things as criticism. I have met many people who take the existence of Mensa as criticism. Some people take university degrees as criticism. I once offended someone highly by saying that school came easy for me. (I meant it in the sense that I can't take credit for it because it's not difficult.) So you don't have to even disagree with some people to offend them.
