Agreed, some people can be real twits around airfields, there's a small group of pilots out there who believe theyre on a station in life above everyone else.
However, I am sure the majority of pilots see themselves as part of the aviation brotherhood (sisterhood too, just to be PC). A quick word to let you know what was going on would have been beneficial.
Incidentally, I noticed that you may wish to edit your location.
