Fastolfe was responsible for suggesting that the reply to your node should be reaped. His comments are not in response to your post. Instead, they are directed at the original contents of the reply, which you can read here

I suspect that you received a private message from root informing you that someone had replied to your post. Before you had the opportunity to read the original reply, it was reaped, and was replaced by Fastolfe's comments. My colleague can speak for himself, but I see no reason to believe his crack about "slashdot kiddies" was directed at you.

It's stunningly less than obvious how this all works, so I will merely say that your assumption is incorrect. Hopefully things make more sense now.
