I can say without a doubt of all technically oriented communities the HAM radio community is by far the most rude, hostile, and least educated in their field of any group.

The amount of just pure idiocy and lack of understanding of even the basics is astonishing considering this is a licensed trade.

 My local clubs were full of people with big egos and attitudes. Meanwhile, they were wondering why the hobby was dying.

It's recent gain in popularity certainly isn't due to license holders, and most new-comers have no desire to associate with "sad hams". They would prefer to learn solo online.
