Take a step back a think about the situation.

Your time (and blood pressure) are too valuable to waste on the &derogatory 
field tech.

Put things back the way you want them and make a note to restore your 
configuration to the minimum needed to show a failure before you call for 
service. Some field techs are pretty clever but some are intellectually on 
par with a chicken.

You have nothing to gain by blowing off steam at the service provider. Enjoy 
the fact that you really did a good job of annoying him!

This is a good place to vent and find some sympathy.
