You know, in a situation like this, I don't think anyone is at 'fault'.
...My natural method of communication is very, very blunt. Life has taught me that this doesn't always equal the best outcome (i.e. the most understanding, on both parts), so I've learned to temper it. This doesn't bother me, it just is what it is.
Yeah that's pretty much how I deal with it, too. I reserve the right however, to think what I like. And I will be thinking the person's a ridiculously precious little pussy though, and I totally will feel like I'm speaking to a child. That's the way it is. If they want me to treat them that way, they can't have it both ways - the kidgloves out, but yet I still see them as a mature adult, capable of dealing with their own feelings. Just like I never ask that anyone sees me as a NICE person since I don't really care whether I am or not. It only bugs me when they fail to make the distinction between "nice" and "good".
I'm not always a nice person, but I am inherently a good person. I can very confidently say that it's not within me to wish anyone harm or intentionally do anyone any malice.
