Yes, I was highly offended by this.  The above-cited words are
indistinguishable from those of an intolerant bigot.  Such people are best
ignored unless they actually start acting on their bigotry.  Revelation of
such prejudice renders suspect everything else that person might say, so I
promptly ignored the rest of his post.
