Default Karma or being a douche?

Sitting at 5/10 full kill Omaha hi/lo at Motor City, Detroit.
Not a bad game, though when I sat down the average age dropped by about 20 years on the table. Youngest was at least 50, most were older.
I've learned that unfortunately when I sit down in an Omaha or O8b often the table has to help the dealers at least occasionally. I can understand this with the game only getting spread once a week. Anyways, villain in the 3 seat has been berating every dealer whenever a mistake happens. I am in a split pot with him and notice he doesn’t ship a toke. I decide to watch him, and not once did he ever tip dealer or cocktail waitress. He has thrown his cards more than once and has little patience with any of us. It's getting late (most have been playing at least 8 hours -- but the average age is at least 50!) I'm in a hand 3 ways and make the wheel on the turn. Villain is button and I'm UTG+1 (in seat 6). SB bets, I raise, villain raises, SB folds, I call. River brings a flush card and also a straight to 6 (sorry don't remember the board). I check, figuring I just got quartered, villain bets I call. As I call I ask him, "Did you quarter me?" I flip my cards and have a somewhat hard time seeing his cards. I sit quietly, notice he does make the 6 high straight, somebody starts to ask a question at his end of the table and he says "I've got the wheel we split." Seat 8 notices this, but decides to stay silent -- dealer splits the pot and next hand proceeds. Seat 8 says I'm lucky, I nod and say "Karma." Now, all night long we have been trying to help the dealers decide the pot. Am I a douche, maybe. I asked the guy if I was quartered when I flipped my hand, somebody near him, may have been the dealer, starts to try to read the hand and he was loud and says "we split." Plus he's been yelling that he can't see the cards at our side of the table.
So, am I going to be cursed by the god's, or did this guy maybe sow what he reaps? Mind you, I have called myself being quartered and also noticed a baby flush that killed my straight that both dealer and player missed.
99% of the time I call it, but I was just tired of this guys antics. Honestly, how would you all play this one?
