If you really believe that, then you'd better stay out of design reviews,
especially when your design is being reviewed.

If you just withold any comment to a demanding ingrate on the list, then
they won't know their attitude prevented getting more responses.  This is
especially true since there always seem to be a few people here that can't
help showing off they know the answer instead of restraining themselves to
make the list a better place long term for all.  The OP may never know
better responses could have been had.  By telling the OP that he's perceived
as a jerk and why is actually doing him a favor, although he may not think
that in the short term.
