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.
