You don't have to be sheltered to think it's rude. This feels like an attack, please stop.

You also maybe should know that I could have texted that to him as well. It's not as if we don't know each other.. i may have even been to his home previously :-)

You should perhaps consider if you are modeling the behavior that you want to see others adopt. They don't know your relationship status, they only know that you find it acceptable to be rude and dismissive in a professional environment.

Newcomers, outsiders, and others will take that experience to heart.

How else would he attain status a la Linus in the mailing list world?

Please don't pile on.

Speaking of newcomers, could you please be more polite to newcomers here?

From the HN guidelines: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."
