I found it highly critical but not inflammatory - though I'm not sure if I'd've felt the same way had they been being similarly critical of -my- code.
However, either way, responding with condescension (which is how the 'industry standard' thing came across) and outright aggression is never going to be constructive, and if that's the only response one is able to formulate then it's time to either wait a couple hours or ask somebody else to answer on your behalf instead (I have a number of people who are kind enough to do that for me when my reaction is sufficiently exothermic to make posting a really bad idea).
boats-of-a-year ago handled a similar situation much more graciously here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22464629 - so it's entirely possibly a lockdown fatigue issue - but responding to calmly phrased criticism with outright aggression is still pretty much never a net win and defending that behaviour seems contrary to the tone the rust team normally tries to set for discussions.
