I don't get why OP didn't contact he TA directly before going public with it. It seems there's some major miscommunication happening. It looks to me like OP went berserk instead of resolving a misunderstanding peacefully. There could be multiple potential misunderstandings. Someone seems to have overreacted on the UW side causing OP to overreact. And then HN potentially overreacted as well. Each overreaction compounds the previous one causing exponential overreaction.
