I my opinion I was not.
After the game..two parents preceded to come up to my partner and myself I complain about me being bias. My partner supporting me the whole time, one of the parents turned to me and said "you know what you should do?"
I turned to him and said "sir, I really don't care what your opinion is"
Then he proceeds to tell me that I would care if "we took this outside". I looked to him and said "real mature sir" and walked away.
Talking to another official, he told me I was the professional and handled it wrong.
Any suggestions on how to handle dumb situations like this?

IMO, your mistake was allowing yourself to be approached. I make myself very unapproachable after every game. Walk away before anything can be said.
But once you were engaged I have no problem what so ever with your comments. You are under no obligation to be polite to a$$hole parents or coaches after a game.
