Forums are not good for emoting. No amount of little smilies will ever fix that. That's why a little thought is required as to whether, in real life, you would really talk to people in the way you have typed a message on here.

If you see that reply as sarcastic, it's most likely because you're intentionally doing so. I would say it's perhaps you that lives in the uncivilized place if you automatically take the attitude that anything anyone says must be rude if they didnt sprinkle what they said with flowers and bunnies, instead of just giving them the benefit of the doubt if you arent wholly sure you're understanding what they said in the way they meant it.
There's no rudeness in the reply, no assault against the OP, it's just a short and to-the-point reply that, basically, gives the OP the answer that avoids the most hassle.
