If you didn't assume bad intent (or even if you did, really) then perhaps you should have approached this more civilly. You called his actions 'assholish' and accuse him of 'pretending'.

It takes one to know one, I suppose, but I try to limit my assholishness to people who have already demonstrated a good bit of their own.
