I believe Demonology was picked as this is an easier build to use with leveling. You just send in the pet, apply a couple DoTs, and then use a wand until the mob is dead. This is very easy for anyone to use and is relatively safe in terms of survivability.
A lot of people like Affliction because you can kill mobs faster, but you need to learn how to 'drain tank' as you'll have agro most of the time with this build and thus be in a higher danger bracket for death. Affliction will probably also be the build of choice for dungeons and raids.
As for a comeback, just tell them that you don't tell them how to play their toons so they shouldn't tell you how to play yours. But honestly if you just tell them it's your first 'lock and you're using Demonology while learning the character most sensible players will understand and not really give you grief.
