Was I being ridiculous?

So I started chatting online with this guy on the dating site. I'm in Canada, and hes in the States. I told him stuff about myself. He asked questions and I answered them, some with great detail.
I asked him a couple of questions, as well as for him to tell me about himself. He somehow is able to evade answering the questions.
Then he tells me I'm the kind of girl he'd like to meet and how would we go around it with the distance. I answered that I would love to meet him but I need to know about him first.
He doesn't again provide me any info about himself but goes on about how you can't really know the person from a keyboard, and that even my photo could be fake.
I was really ticked off and replied back to him rather bluntly - that hes been avoiding answering my questions while I have told him details about me. I also shot back that his pictures could be fake, and that why does he expect me to trust that he is real, and that I have to prove that I'm not fake. I told him he probably also expects me to fly down to the States to meet him without knowing anything about him. I told him his personality is shining through.
He in turn replied that I get angry easily and that he can't afford to be scammed.
Now wouldn't you be ticked??

I would have said "next!" a few emails ago, I think. I don't think a guy like that is sincere about meeting anyone and therefore not worth getting upset over.

I wouldn't share anything else with him until he

Umm, shooting back that his pictures could be fake and asking him why he expects you to think he is real is not accusing him of lying? ;-) Sounds like you are accusing him of at least POTENTIALLY lying to me. Regardless, nexting him is a good idea. Any time they hide information - they've got a reason to be hiding.
No. The reason I shot that back at him was because he accused my picture of being fake and that I may be fake and trying to scam him.
The only thing I was accusing him of was the inbalance of sharing of information. I shared stuff about me while he did not. He felt that I should automatically believe he is who he is while I had to prove and provide information to show that I am being honest. He had personal details about me and I knew nothing about him.
