As to your last sentence, if I was your Captain and you had "words" with me about how I needn't fulfill my FOM required duty to educate you on where you were lacking your next "words" would be with the Chief Pilot explaining why you were the first FO I had ever removed from a trip. My guess is "he was politely trying to correct me on my abhorrent ATC knowledge and I was arrogant and unreceptive" won't be the answer he was looking for.

I've had Captains educate me in the past. Some good some bad. I didn't enjoy it, but I took it like a professional and absorbed the wisdom.

Pride and ignorance are a deadly combo and will get you killed in a airplane.
