Both are dismissive. To you it may not seem that bad, but to others it will be.
A comment like: "Whatever you say bud" is just a different way of saying "You're an idiot," and even if the person writing it doesn't have that intention, it will probably be taken as a slight. "You're looking for something that's not there." is better without the "bud." Bud, buddy, or pal all kind of suck if you use it when addressing someone who is not an actual friend, although if Conroy called me bud, I'm not sure I'd feel insulted at all.
Also, I hope Conroy is right about Johnny!!
