Narrative:
Departure asked our heading. My reply, '350.' he then proceeded to chew me out on the radio for flying a different heading than I acknowledged. I may have erred, but verbal abuse on the frequency only serves to further aggravate the situation. We all make mistakes; I've even witnessed controllers making a few.
