  Consider it being a joke and move on. There's a lot of strange people on chess servers, there's people who speaks poor English, there's people who tend to harass or offend other players for their amusement...
  
  If you come to the chess server to play, ignore the comments from others and just play. There's no point talking to strangers, unless they offer a sound advice of some kind (that's pretty rare occasion).
  
  Once done with the game, say "thank you" or anything you like and move on. Life's too short to spend time pondering on meaningless comments.
