Woah.. a bit sensitive, are we?  Come on, he did give an honest answer to a 
question that may be "stupid" to some of us.  And the answer wasn't THAT 
bad... it could have been much worse, like "hey, idiot!  Have you had your 
head up your a@@ for the past half decade?" (Just an example).

BTW, your post also technically qualifies as a flame. ;)

Anyways, a lot of people on the net are just indifferent to others for the 
very reason you stated: they will probably never come face to face with the 
other individual.  Therefore, they may seem rude sometimes (or a lot of 
times).  Kind of sad, but true.
