Why is it everyone has to resort to name calling and instantly being
offended by everyone. If you don't think he reply has merit, then
either simply ask him what he meant or ignore the post altogether.
Your reply just flames the issue.

I never get the reason why people feel the need to insult someone they
feel has insulted them. That somehow by the re-doing the act they will
solve the issue? Just move on.
