"Golfing" is a programming game in which you try to write the smallest program possible to accomplish a task - the relation to regular golf being that a lower "score" is better. No-one was calling your question stupid; rather, they were simply drawing a connection between smaller regexes and better golf scores. The praise for Perl6's golfworthiness was quite sincere, not sarcastic.
