Table etiquette

[SNOWBALL138]

I was playing 2/4 hold em at the racetrack in LA and dragged a big pot off this guy. He began to criticize my play. All I said was nice hand. He was saying "you better learn to read to board if you wanna play". He said a couple other insulting things and told me that this must be the first time I've played.

Here's the question. Whats the best response here?

My response was "can I still keep these chips"?

Obviously, the wrong response is explaining to him why my play was correct on all the betting rounds, and how his play was incorrect on 2 of them.

Is there a better response than mine? My objective was to keep him in the game, but also to stop him from lecturing me.
