You should've let them teach you the insta-kill glitch. Even if you never plan on using it, it's still valuable to know. And if you're farming rep to rank up, time = XP. The faster you can complete strikes, the more XP you earn so you achieve you goal faster. Destiny is supposed to be about cooperation, but you sound self centered (wanting to play solo) and stubborn. You said you wasted more than an hour--how is that productive? You could've completed 3 or more strikes in that time. Those guys probably think you're the rude player, and I'd have to agree.
