I sympathize with you over experiencing an inconsistency in tournament/league play (ie: the same thing being called two different ways), and you do have a right to be upset about it. That being said, similar things have probably happened to almost everybody who posts on AZ, and there is a right way and a wrong way to handle these types of situations. I understand why you may not have wanted to make a big stink about it during the competition, but pulling aside an official at that time to get a clear ruling would have been the proper thing to do. However, you're well within your rights to come to AZ and make a post about the issue, and perhaps even vent a little.
Where you went wrong, and this is the ONLY reason you're receiving flack from AZ'ers, is by making a post titled "I Got Screwed" and calling out Zims Rack publicly over an issue you didn't fully understand. You say you came on here and asked a question, but that's not exactly true. You came on here and made an allegation. That's ok too, but you'd better be 100% sure about it before you do that sort of thing publicly. Otherwise it will be viewed as being very disrespectful... because it is very disrespectful.
If your post had been titled something like "What's the Correct Ruling", as it should have been, I can assure you that you would have received a speedy and respectful answer to your question.
You won't receive any more respect on AZ than you show to others.
