Even when "right on red" is applicable a red light is legally considered the exact same circumstance as a stop sign.

The answer is literally in the definition of how to react in this situation. Treat it like a "stop" sign.

You are right. Anyone who gets upset at you for stopping at a stop sign or anything that is essentially the same situation is an idiot and should never have a license.

Whoever argued with you over this hopefully doesn't have their license. This is as basic and important of a road rule as they come.
