playing sayc on BBO with a pickup pt , I held

J8642
J10985
3
75

pt was dealer and opened at game all

1♣ ,x, p , 2♥
p ,3[♦ ,p 3♥
p ,4 ♥ , ?

I passed in tempo , taking the view that ......

there is only one thing that I could hold for a double here , this is almost certainly going off and 5♦ is probably a make

partner then re-opened and castigated me for not doubling! who is correct ?

in fact he held

KQ109
........
KJ8
QJ10963

leaving aside that I personally would have made a neg x of 2♥, I could have some sympathy for 4♠[ can only be a 4 card suit now ] or x , but he decided on the 0% line of 5♣ which got its just reward [ well not really , he got out for 800 on a misdefence]
at this point I was unappreciative about remarks like why didn't I learn to play bridge ; but having mostly played with genuine experts over the years , who think as I do , is my thinking wrong here?do I have a style which is out of line ?

wot you all think?

Your pard is just trying to find a scapegoat for his idiotic 5♣ bid and you happened to be the only one around You bid fine.

You can either:
1. ignore him
2. report an abuse to BBO administration

I agree with your pass. pd's passes up to 4H is OK with me. Although dbl over 2H is reasonable but prefer pass. After all, pd's hand is lack of aces, and opps may have spade fit (up to 3D).
