I actually see you calling them an asshole as much more rude than anything they said. I figure there's some social implication that I'm missing. Would you mind breaking down the thought process for your reply?

Not GP, but the "as well" in that comment could be seen to imply that GP is a mediocre engineer, and OP is as well.

That sentence is grammatically incorrect. But even if meaning this, calling him an a-hole is a bit harsh, especially for HN.
