Default Was I justified or out of line

OK, second level of a home tourney, 8 players remain at my table. Effective stacks still 5,000 +/- 500, blinds 50/ 100. UTG limps, folded to me in the cut-off where I find KhQh. I pop it to 300, folds to BB who calls, and UTG calls.

So we go 3ways to the flop with 950 in the pot. Flop comes K83 with 2 spades. Check, check, and I bet 700. BB folds, UTG calls.

Turn is the 3d and UTG checks again. I'm fairly certain MHIG and I pot it by betting 2350. I guess I could have tried to extract value but at the time I just wanted to put it away and move on to the next hand. My best guess was that he was on a flush draw. Surprisingly, he gets sticky and calls again.

River comes the Ac, so final board is K833A rainbow and UTG smugly donks 500, WTF? "ChitDamMuthaFut". There's like zero chance this is a bluff, but 500 into a 7550 pot is an autocall so I do.

He waves the Ad, and I nod and say "Table it" and open my KhQh. I paid for a call and wanted to see his hand, since he didn't have the As, I wanted to see why he was chasing. But I guess as well as being a donkey, he's hard of hearing too and he throws his hand into the muck and reaches out to sweep in the pot. I say "Wait a second, I win” and everyone looks at me like I'm crazy. "He mucked, I have the only live hand, I win." Now I know in a real cardroom, I'm getting the pot here, and I do have an allie that agrees, but 3 or 4 guys come to his aide and say "He had an Ace, we all saw it". I break out Robert's and make them read how this is my pot, incidentally Robert's is specifically incorporated as the house rules. Still they are insisting I'm being an ass and violating the "Spirit of the Home Game."

They ask me why I'm being an ass and I tell them I called 500 to see what he was chasing me down with, so he retrieves the Ad4s out of the muck, OK here you go. So his allies think that everything is settled and start pushing the rest of the pot to him. So I start yelling at this point and call UTG a stupideffingidiot so then he shoves he's whole stack across the table and storms out in a huff.

I went on to win the tourney, but it was a very somber atmosphere, and 2 days later it seems at least half of the 16 players are pissed at me.

I know I shouldn't have raised my voice, called him names and swore so that was all bad, and I have even come to the realization I should have just sucked up the loss and tossed my hand into the muck when I saw I was beat. But what I'm wondering is, was I really that far out of line when I am technically right by the rules?
