I had you labeled as a lush (that's a joke about being a 'wine'-r). A few generations back in my family we had actual whiners, so I empathize with you.
I mean, consider the bright side, you could've gone into politics with a last name like "Weiner"...
Ce la vie. It wasn't intended as an attack, really. I was sympathizing with you as my greatgrandmother actually had the last name whiner, but I understand how my remarks might've appeared as intended to insult you.
My apologies, I was simply trying to inject a bit of wit into the discussion :(.
While I didn't find his comment particularly funny, I'm not sure I'm seeing the attack in it - just reads to me as a light-hearted joke about names, in contrast to the top comment which genuinely described you as a "whiner".
