I mean sure it's absolutely fine not to read my papers, and it's also fine to have negative views about me and my work and everything, but to say that to a junior colleague is really strange.

OMFG! was this a senior researcher? Not seniority explains it, mind you, b/c being a total ass doesn't depend on experience.

To be honest, I doubt I will ever interact with this person again or if I do I will do so with more of a "plan" let's say.

Also yes, this person clearly has an agenda which they are implementing (arguably very badly) here.
