Am I wrong in drawing/thinking this?

An email I received re. this story: https://www.flickr.com/photos/alfrankenstein/sets/72157633531028771/
"Although I liked your drawings, I didn’t like the comic book you gave me.
It was a terribly sad story about how you used that poor girl, took her dignity and then were ashamed to be seen with her. The weird thing is that you were the one crying in the book because you felt that all you could get was a fat girl and you had no problem disregarding and using her. Thanks for sharing  your literary works and psychology theories with me. You are very smart. Best of luck to you with your creative works.”

My response:
"You completely missed the point of the story, which is that at the end I realized that I was a piece of shit. Self-awareness allows me to realize this, and let other people know about it. People that can’t admit their faults, and keep their mistakes a secret (in my opinion) are deluding themselves, and deceiving other people."

Any thoughts?
