No.  When somebody asks a yes/no question, answering yes or no
seems quite polite to me.  Following the yes/no answer with an
explanation of the answer is always nice, and I've little doubt
that's what happened.

Answering a yes/no question with "no" doesn't seem to me to be
combative if the correct answer is indeed "no".  But I've lost
track of the post you found objectionable...
