My remarks, while acerbic, certainly didn't warrant "dweeb" or "take a hike" in response

My remarks didn't warrant "Carry on."

My remarks didn't warrant "Carry on."

I interrupted the proceedings with my comment. I could then either have said "as you were", "carry on", "back to your regularly scheduled program", or any number of other phrases to indicate "my interruption is now over, please continue."

I'll grant you that it was certainly received less convivially than that.
