I dont think so that his statement was pungent.
pungent [i]adj[i] from the Latin [i]pungere[i], to pierce
1. producing a sharp sensation of taste and smell
2. sharp, biting, or stimulating, [as in pungent wit]
Webster's New World Dictionary
I think his statement was biting, and in turn has caused a bit of stimulation, by being written at the wrong time, and in the wrong place!
I did not mean to point out anything about your English use of words! Quite the contrary, as when I looked up the word _pungent_, I was guite surprised how well it fit.
He did have a very biting remark.
I don't think you know me well enough to take such an attitude towards me.
