I think he feels when he doesn't reply, he is protecting himself in some way. He doesn't want to get into an argument. Ignoring you, he doesn't it give it much thought and not worth the time of a reply.

So in one he is protecting feelings and in the other there aren't feelings involved. At least I think that is what he means.
