How is it you were diving without a C-card? Were you on a "resort" or "intro to scuba" class? If this type of class, be assured that he is not allowed to teach more than two divers at a time, so it's not a valid concern that it could have happened to more people at the same time.
I have to tell you that Walter lacks patience sometimes as well; his frustration with divers is generally when he has told them something more than once, by signaling or however he tries to get the message across and they don't listen. You must remember that anyone certified as a Divemaster is ultimately responsible for the life of their divers. Few people realize that diving is a dangerous "sport". Could Taz's scolding be because he didn't want you to make that mistake again - if you made that mistake again, could it cost you your life?
I've never dived under Taz's supervision, so I'm not trying to defend him, but it seems like there may be more to the story.
Would you share the name of the dive site where he took you and how deep you were diving please?
Happy Diving!
Debbie
