They were not, and were not supposed to be, sentences.
That's why they were punctuated with an exclamation mark.
There are four kinds of sentences: command, question, statement, and exclamation. Having an exclamation mark doesn't mean it's not a sentence! However, interjections can ALSO have an exclamation mark and not be complete sentences.

However, who cares really? I just react badly to smart-arse put downs.
