Sorry to read you had to put up with a grumpy ranter, but from the sound of it he was defending a family that needed no defending - usually the way!! My encounters when on naked hikes (solo, no groups) have always been amicable, mostly a smile and a hello, occasionally a frown but no comment, sometimes a friendly comment related to the weather.

From what I hear and read from others that’s a fairly standard response; we fear a negative reaction, like your Mr Grumpy, but rarely get it - the rest of the world seems more accepting of use than we expect.

And the best reaction to the Grumpys is smile and pass on by, engaging with them is fruitless - you’ll never convince them they’re wrong so why descend to their level?
