Yeah, not to mention that the part about

Seems to be partially self-inflicted ?

Now the "grown ups" part is clearly not nice (but then what do you expect when you're starting to lay blame even though you don't know how Internet networking works?), but the "moron" part is clearly mirroring his initial self-deprecating remark, rather than a direct insult.

Also, as cramer says :

Wait until he learns how consumer routers typically have the IPv6 firewall off by default (if any), and there's no (need for) NAT (which has never been supposed to be used for security anyway, and also properly set up IPv6 suffixes are too big to be scanned), so "internal/home" devices are "directly" on the Internet !

Mirroring someone's self deprecating remark, adding an insult, and adding "sorry not sorry" is being an ass. Or at least, it takes a lot of familiarity before it is not being an ass.
