It's only rude if it's intended to be, otherwise it's just words. He was just exaggerating his advice is order to make his point clearer. It's impossible (or, at least, impractical) to ensure messages are completely unambiguous, so the onus has to be on the recipient to try and work out what the poster intended and when doing that you should always assume good faith.

In complete seriousness, just shut up and get back to work on the encyclopedia. AGF and all the other values that make this thing great exist because they are a necessity for producing good collaborative articles. The more people focus on the project instead of meta discussion and the personalities, the more they see how AGF isn't just a nice idea...it's indispensable.
