The article makes out that it was a bit.
Rather than continuing the argument in earnest, they picked someone who had nothing to do with the original argument then stopped posting all together. The point of them doing that was to show they had no interest in actually continuing the argument, to borrow a 4Chan term: they did it for the lulz.

- johnnyanmac 2y agohonestly, the argument wasn't even that bad. At least, not 10 years ban-worthy. To clarify, it was definitely bad, but it was definitely the most clever version of "kill yourself" I've read in years. Maybe the past 11 years of internet discourse has made me appreciate the more "subtle" days where you didn't just chain random buzzwords together when getting into an argument. There was some class to it.
