He flipped out when I answered his phone. Is his anger justified?

I quickly ruled him out, but now am wondering if I was too harsh

Q.   There is this guy that is interested in me, however I have ruled him out on after two dates, an informal meeting, and two chats online. He gave me a pretty tough first impression to get over as he didn't seem like he cared about others feelings or ...
