If you take OP at face value this is exactly what she did.

Pulled to first possible point where she could have stopped and pulled extras. Stopped to talk. Asked DPS to use AoEs if he was going to do massive pulls.

Got nothing in return.

At what point did OP do anything hateful? Not responding immediately isn't hateful. Nor is 'Hey, could you use AoE if we're doing a full clear with large pulls'.

This is why I'm asking you if you believe what you're saying. Because what you're saying is just making random things up to attempt to be 'neutral' and putting a ridiculous onus on players to respond to any degree of toxicity with, not just politeness, but immediate politeness or be accused of being equally toxic/equally at fault.
