Abrupt Controller

was unprofessional to lay me out like that. This reminds me of how a
mid-air occurred in LA because a new controller took time to admonish a GA
pilot for a couple minutes while a commercial plane and a Piper collided
right in front of him on his screen.
I'll leave the comments about your handling to others, but your
characterization of that 1986 tragedy over Cerritos, CA is grossly
misleading.
The NTSB found no fault with the controller working those aircraft. In
fact, he is a highly regarded airspace manager today.
The Piper pilot was illegally within the TCA (Class B airspace).
