Adding a 'smiley' or '<grin>' to that remark would have made it clear you were knowingly using a stereotype in a friendly way. At least it would have prevented a dozen or so messages from being send unnecessarily and it would have saved you the bother of having to defend yourself against a dozen or so attacks.
