I think Admentus just saw that you provide your texture pack as PNG only and wanted to give you a quick advice. Especially since you said that you are new to this whole topic and appreciate any help.
I don't think that he intended to offend or to embarrass you in some way.
I understand why he was kind of insistent about the texture format. I faced the same decision some months ago and also tended to PNG in the first place. But if you try DDS (BC7) once you will not want to miss it any longer. When I tested my own texture pack as PNG, Dolphin needed a lot of time to load the textures and was lagging as hell. The game was unplayble on my device. After converting to DDS everything loaded fast and the game ran smooth. And I couldn't see any visual differences to PNG.
Give it a shot, you won't regret it.
