From Dictionary.Com:

terse:
adjective, ters·er, ters·est.
1. neatly or effectively concise; brief and pithy, as language.
2. abruptly concise; curt; brusque.

…and brusque means:

1: markedly short and abrupt
2: blunt in manner or speech often to the point of ungracious harshness

——————————————

So hes right, sorta. Terse is almost never used as a complement. Its a negative term that generaly means someone is being a bit of an a hole.

You clearly know not that of which you speak good sir. You’ve made that embarrassingly obvious for yourself. Keep trying to fit square pegs in circular holes.

Good day.

If you cannot read an article and take it for its original interpretation maybe you should go to Pro English Talk.com,obviously Hockey Talk is a challenge for you and you are lost ! Glad I could direct you in a helpful direction .

You’re making up your own definition of words now bro cookie.

In fact, the first definition from Merriam Webster says:
“smoothly elegant : polished”

Glad I could explain THAT for you!
