Ah yes those are generally referred to as "elitists" in most fandoms; where people are just genreally rude to people, notably new comers, who got information wrong. Being classed as a "veteran" by some people here I admit that at times I snap at fans who just "don't get it" because sometimes it's just painful to see people still be mis-informed in this day. But yes fans who feel the need to insult someone to "inform them of their mistake" are douchebags who just want to beleive they have a large ego, which they do only it's about as full as an empty jar.

All that can be done is to balance out the crap of the fandom by doing good, and that is not defined as fighting/talking back to elitists; just be a better role model for the fandom.
