I see this kind of snottiness in posts in other forums as well. Two things: posters like that are secure in anonymity, and usually won't be like that face to face (usually). Next, I have found most campers to be exceedingly helpful.

I thanked the gentleman, I apologized to my son, and we have enjoyed camping ever since.
