I think that is an appropriate response -- his handle is meant to inflame.
Delete that crap and don't think twice about it.  Move on to the real work
of promoting the kind of information that is useful to folks so we can
develop a solid readership; we do not need to be supporting the handful of
people that want to undermine the IMC.
