I don't think he's looking for a fight.
I think they are just trying to verify that you is really you. PGP is
public/private key signing and usually one gives out the public key so that
people can use the public key to verify messages signed with the private key.
After all, people can even send email apparently from your email address and
even pgp sign it with their own key. Then we have 2 messages from you but
signed with different keys and no way of knowing which one would be real or
not.
