The thing is we all have questions from time to time that others have an answer to. There are a lot of helpful people in this group and you just got help. That doesn't make you idiotic and it doesn't make the person trying to help you obnoxious.
You didn't know something so you experimented and that's a good thing. Someone saw what you were trying to do and did know that something and offered help; another good thing.
Up till that point everything was going well. Then you began belittling the person trying to help you. Maybe he over-reacted a bit but certainly not to the extent that you over-reacted to his help. Then you say you'd already tempered your reaction but you hadn't said anything yet. Maybe you would have but now we'll never know.
It seems to me that if you're a person of good will, and I hope you are or you're probably gonna flame me for this post, you'll simply apologize for starting this mishmosh in what is usually a pretty friendly group and drop the argument and go from there.
