I wouldn't worry that much about it. Everyone has their own ideas about what works and what they think is best. Disagreements are what make these sites interesting, as long as they stay civil. I wouldn't take too much of it personally.

I've asked some pretty dumb questions on another site and got slagged a bit, but probably deservedly so, once I thought about it. Newbies tend to get beat around a bit, so I know how they feel. You can't always tell the real newbies from someone who's just new to a site. I've seen that happen here where someone gets offended because they get treated like a true newbie based on their questions. They usually get over it.
