First of all, I actually wouldn't care if you used a ref. I use refs to base my poses off of all the time, but I don't trace or copy them. It's the fact that I think you traced and won't admit it that bugs me.

If you want my 3 reasons, I'll give them to you, but be forewarned: I cut no corners and they're very long blocks of text doing nothing but pulling apart your picture and attitude. Do you actually want to read that?

Short version without the extensive why added:

1- Your history with bases/tracing

2- What you said about how you learned to draw

3- Hallmarks of being traced are still there
