Oh I stand by that one a thousand percent.

Listen to yourself. Where did I ever imply any of that? 'Sorry, what' is simply an exclamation from my part at your point of view, but it does not imply in any way whatsoever that I am belittling you or that I am considering your assertion as ludicrous. That's going overboard mate, and I am sorry you see it that way.
To say 'sorry, what?' is condescension - it is sarcasm in text to suggest what you're hearing is absolutely ridiculous.
To say it in real life either means you genuinely did not hear the person, or you find their view so comical you're pretending you must have misheard what they said.
It's not going overboard, it's called language differences. I accept you might not realise what that truly meant in English, and sometimes I forget folk on here don't primarily speak English.
So, let's shake hand over a silly misunderstanding.
Still don't want a DP with them two, mind.
