well, I’d agree with both of u here, I do think he was actually complimenting u, because it was indeed a bit confusing, while at the same time, he was throwing in some sarcasm, as he tends to do, and I’d also argue that it was actually pretty funny, and i usually appreciate his humor a lot, but my sense of humor is a bit weird too; i think a lot of ppl here would agree on that too, lol
(and I’m pretty sure he’s perfectly fine with being called a smartass too, lol, but that’s just me assuming things about others in 2019, but he’s actually fine with that too, rofl)
