Saying he is an idiot is hardly rude and hardly insulting, it's merely friendly banter in which you seemed to have missed. Maybe I should insert a line explaining that it should be taken in jest? If I wanted to be rude using the term idiot will probably be the last word I'd use. But then again our resident hero here would probably don his cape again and condemn for it.

I think this usage was just a shortening of 'I did it for the banter', abbreviated for those who find words difficult. Whether even that is correct usage fo the word I guess is debatable. My friend annoyingly overuses this word as soon as he's had a few pints so I share your anger. I guess it's the new 'random'.
