You don't offend me.  You mislead other Emacs users.  It's good to let
users know of alternative behaviors, regardless of whether or when you
or I might prefer to use them.

It is important that there is not just one Emacs Way.
In-Emacs-we-don't-use-a-mouse is not the right message, IMO.
Even - or especially - when passed off as a snarky joke.

FWIW: Had you written "Click mouse-1 in the echo area" I would likely
have added "Or just use `C-h e'".  It is good to know about both
alternatives - each can be useful.
