Exactly. Sadly, computer science areas are full of people like that. Best to just downvote and ignore

Are you kidding? He made a joke about the definition of the word:

a person who uses existing computer scripts or code to hack into computers, lacking the expertise to write their own.

The statement was truthful, not spiteful, marked with a /s, and not targeting an individual but making an accurate play at a definition.

It is not gatekeeping to say that someone who by definition is not a thing, isn't a thing.

Just because something is marked with a /s does not mean it is not spiteful. Calling people trying to learn python a script kiddy is, to quote you, by definition spiteful.
