In American English, slang for an insult is a "burn".

e.g.

"You got burned" = "You were insulted"

The poster was making a joke that the OP had been insulted because this other JavaScript board is superior or something, hence, he directed him to treatment centers for a "burn".

This is very common on reddit.
