Maarten:

Thanks for the detailed description of an anger-causing situation. It should be a situation that both you and all the rest of us on the Forum can learn from. It is a serious mess and may be hard to get out of.

I have read your post carefully but there are many interactions I don't understand. It is 9:00 and I have get up at 5:00 AM tomorrow. I'd like to take more time and respond to you tomorrow morning. My first impression is that you were too assertive with the supervising professor if he/she were in charge of supervising your study. I they were not in charge but were merely helping out the responsible professor, then it seems like you got much too aggressive and disrespectful when it would have been helpful to ask the responsible professor to intervene much earlier (who you did not mention much about) to resolve the conflicts and hard feelings. Does it seem like I misunderstood the situation?

Looking over Chapter 7 about anger might be helpful.
