But, no he presumes to educate me on what a simile is.

Why take it so personally? After his explanation you could have simply said something like "I know what a simile is." You've said you don't get angry online, so why take his post as such an insult when it was hypothetically meant to be taken at face value. There were no hidden daggers, yet you play it off as if you were stabbed.

We have absolutely no idea what your age or background is. We know nothing about you.

We don't know who you are. willravel posted an explanation of a simile as a point of clarification, not as a tool of condescention. You're over-analyzing his post's meaning, which is a trait of intelligible people. Ironically enough, your over-analysis lead to you thinking he was calling you an idiot. Though I'm still not sure why you are pursuing this with such vigor.
Also, age means nothing. Background means nothing. We don't know you. All we know about you is what we see you post.
