Not at all. You are, however, quite new and it takes all of us - myself included - some time to adjust to a community. When I first joined I got into it with a member named Halx. I later found out that he is the owner and operator of TFP. He was patient but forward with me.
The pecking order is like that found in any other community. Imagine that I am an employee in a company you are new to. We have the same job, neither of us is in a superior position, but I have over 2 years experience. It simply means that I am more integrated and familiar.

Showing scorn is something you should monitor whether you're on an online forum, at work, or in school. The same can be said of sarcasm. TFP is a community just like any other, with it's social norms. Some people do choose to test or even break the limits of that norm. If I may make a humble suggestion: only test or break those norms in situations that are important enough to run the risk of social outcast or even banning. Pick your battles.
