I’m actually very good with people. But this is chat. Would you email someone and just say hi?

If I were using email as a realtime chat service, sure. I mean personally I probably wouldn't but it's certainly not unreasonable.
Intentionally ignoring people or otherwise being difficult out of spite is immature and disrespectful. That said, I see no reason to sit and wait for a response. Wait until I'm free (if it was urgent he should have specified that), reply "hi", tab out, and the thread goes back on the stack with all the others. No special treatment one way or the other.
Is tab-h-i-CR-tab really so onerous? Personally it doesn't even interrupt my line of thought.
