He is using it as an insult, and as a way to convey that you do not comprehend the text you are reading. He does not mean it literally, but figuratively. This is really basic-level communication, but sometimes it can be difficult to parse tone - Please indicate if you need tone signifier for communication.

What I need is discussion with people who are mature enough to not feel the need to use insults when making their arguments.

Apparently there aren't many such people on hexbear.
