Man Spends 6 Months Perfecting 'Gauche' Handshake That Repels Everyone at Networking Events, AITA for Refusing to Shake Back?

TL;DR: Some guy in a trilby hat invented a new handshake that he claims is "socially conscious" because it only uses two fingers and a weird wrist flick. Now he's mad because nobody wants to touch his gauche, sweat-laden digits at corporate mixers. I told him his handshake is cringe and belongs on a fedora poster. His response? "You're just not sophisticated enough to appreciate the artistry." AITA for telling him his handshake is more gauche than a Nokia phone at a startup launch?
