Correct play or a waste of time?

[CardSleuth]

I was playing at a 2-4 limit table the other night when I was involved in a hand with 2 other players. After the river was dealt the board had Quad 7's and a Q. I was on the button with AJo and the guy acting first bet, the second player folded and I raised. The guy who bet first got mad and said that my raise was stupid and a waste of time sinse it was obvious that we both had Aces and would split the pot.

I thought it was the correct play because I was not risking anything by raising and could only gain an extra bet if he did not have an Ace.

The only waste of time I could see about that play was waiting for him to finish his minute long inane rant.

Would any of you just called in that spot?
