I had a similar experience about 2 years ago. I joined a team and my first pull request had more comments than my commit had LOC. There was a comment each for two libs I pulled in asking what the licenses were. Opinionated but forceful suggestions that were matters of taste. No actual issues with functionality or performance.

I just emailed the manager and said based on the first interaction with this particular team member it wasn't going to be a good fit for me and left on day 2.

Some people just don't like to collaborate and they want your hands out of their sandcastle.
