I see what you did here:
e·lite [ih-leet, ey-leet] ( often used with a plural verb ) the choice or best of anything considered collectively, as of a group or class of persons
e·lit·ism [ih-lee-tiz-uhm, ey-lee-]
practice of or belief in rule by an elite.
consciousness of or pride in belonging to a select or favored group.
Of course there is nothing bad in being professional or talking with the guy, who is professional in some field.

I just don't respond very well to be called stupid or a kid by people who are most likely younger and/or dumber than me. So, while risking to sound a little like a kindergarden kid: "He/You started it!" I simply responded in what I consider to be an adequate manner.
Lol, Burg, it's quite possible, that you are younger then me. So what?
If you think, that i'm talking bullshit, did my age, or my education makes it less bullshit?
Or if you hate to be called by kid, does the fact someone older then you gives him the right to call you that Bad Word?
If some old professor says some bullshit, that mean he is old senile fool.
