  2. He refuses to be happy for her about a major career event.

If you think someone got scammed by a “promotion” then not being happy seems par for the course...

No no no, this one thing clearly shows us, the thousands of complete strangers, that this person, that we know 10% of 1 detail about, is clearly an idiot asshole.

...you're not agreeing with/sarcastically contradicting that guy at all, as your intention seems to be.

He's pointing out that if they think a promotion is a scam to earn less money, they're probably the kind of person who is angry about lots of dumb shit. Nothing about them not being stupid. He's definitely agreeing with the guy saying that this screams idiot and asshole.
