I talk to most everyone who takes the time to ICQ me, but I just can't stand stupid questions that keep repeating and repeating.............esp when I'm working. If I'd have told him to go away he'd be just as pissed off.

Sleazy, I kinda' know how you feel. I'm a web designer, and when people message me on ICQ asking me how to do this and that over and over again it pisses me off a bit too...
What I usually do is still try and answer them to the best of my knowledge, unless of course they were asking these questions to irritate me. If that was the case in your scenario, then you do have a point. But if he was asking them just so he could learn, you could have been nice about it - and if you were busy, then I'm sure he would understand if you said something along the lines of "I have a lot of work to do, i gotta go". And if he would get mad at something like that, then he would come out as the asshole.
Now I'm not taking sides here, and I have nothing against either one of you, I'm just saying what I believe in.
