"OP" is original poster (thread starter). Why would you think this is an insult?

My guess is that he's just started hanging around 4chan and is wondering what "OP is a f@##$&*" means

EDIT: In a gaming context it can also mean Overpowered

^ Pretty much
4chan and websites like it, its par for the course to insult the OP, so much that it has spawned its own meme. In a typical forum context it usually means the Original Poster or Original Post.
