I think you're too easily offended.

Just tell him you've embraced the total process.

My canned response to the digital editing is cheating rant, is "Do you like to cook your food?". With some foods you can just gather from the garden and eat as you find them, other foods need to be cooked to bring out flavors or to be edible at all. When you shoot you are hunting, but anything you find to bring home will be well served from some time in the kitchen, be it a quick wash and a bit of dressing, or a long marinade and a slow complex recipe.

The hipster love of 35 mm film in cheap plastic cameras is much like their love of Vinyl records. Both crack me up because I grew up with those technologies, and the reason they were replaced was that they were less easy to use, and were for the most part, inferior to their digital replacements. Of course at the high end with a large format camera, or a EAR Disc Master Turntable you get details and shadings that digital can't get, but when the knit wear hat crowd play dinged up LPs on cheap turntables and talk about how authentic and warm the sound is, it just makes me laugh.

I have found that there's almost always something I can do to any image that I like in one form or another. The technology is there, I have the ability to work with the editing tools to an extent, and it's nice to be able to tailor an image to what you really wanted and saw when you pushed the shutter.

As for not editing......I'm certainly far from perfect, but often I can put what I feel is a perfect touch to an image that didn't quite suit me when I screened it up after downloading. I really don't care what anyone else thinks if I get the image I want, the way I want it.

If your idiot has such a narrow view, just ignore him.

I just had to edit to add this.......+1

I get a lot of the same backwards, ill-informed garbage from the car people I know who lament the "Good ol' days" of muscle cars.......the ones with cams that made 'em idle ratty, shitty tires, poor hinging on dangerous brakes, sloppy steering, and virtually zero creature comforts.....you can have 'em!
