Why is this a snide comment? It should not be surprising that someone who
has engaged in poaching before would think it wasn't wrong, otherwise you
wouldn't have done it.

First, I would like to point out that you brought yourself into this
discussion. I made no reference to you until you decided to comment.
Secondly, I don't think it is at all snide or uncalled for to mention that
you have poached in the past when you express your opinion that it is not
wrong. Thirdly, why would it bother you to have your past poaching
brought up if you don't think it was wrong?
