I didn’t see where Shatner actually said “Grow up, sweetie,” on that exchange, but the alphabet people really should have chosen somebody else to pick on. Shatner was apparently quite unlikable on the Star Trek set, so it’s to be expected he would be one to fight back.

Some might differ in their opinion on Shatner. For instance, it was Shatner who insisted that the TOS cast all be brought in to do the voice-overs for Star Trek the Animated Series. Originally, they were just going to brink back Shatner and Nimoy for voice overs.
By the way, here is a great interview with Nichelle Nichols “Uhura” on filming the first interracial kiss o Star Trek. Sounds like both she and Shatner had fun filming the scene.
