Shuffle off to Buffalo you Nincompoop! /s

I’m not even sure how to respond to this. Is this an insult?

It was intended as a joke insult, to confirm the point you were making - that nothing you say in disagreement would be dropped, but everything would be continued with arguments and insults.

I guess I should have used a /s
