I agree with CUE, in that this foraging trip was poorly organized.
Who the heck gets lost WITH A GROUP?
YOU are on the defensive... And, I wonder why? 
Was this a PUBLICITY STUNT? And, the lost person just stayed in a hotel room???
BTW, YOUR ATTACKING CUE doesn't look good, either.
As Bambi's Mom says: If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
It would be better NOT to defend, and just let CUE look like a whiner. Which is what he looked like, UNTIL YOU SNAPPED BACK AT HIM!
"If you watch Homer Simpson .......... I don't see much of an IQ here"
Why lower yourself to sniping at him?
Another reason I would not want to join your group.
Please do not attempt  impugn my foraging abilities. As I have slowly and carefully studied and sampled what the forest offers... No group needed. And, (knock on wood) I have yet to lose my way in the woods.
