This is a Ham Radio NG, and the norm on here is qualified
Radio Hams participating in a technical pursuit; a technical
pursuit for which they wish the standards to be maintained.

However, there is no snobbery involved. All comers are
encouraged to make an effort to apply themselves to tackle
and then pass the RAE.

Only someone who was ignorant, and was stupid enough to
want to remain ignorant would perceive that the qualified Radio
Hams had a superiority complex.

Are you ignorant?

Do you wish to remain so?

As to knowing very little, a posting here is typical only a few lines
typed in quickly from the top of one's head. it is very rarely a
reasoned discourse of the sort that would be expected in a
_PROPER_ exam. As in verbal communication, the depth of
technical knowledge is revealed by ongoing snippets of
conversation. When you are introduced to someone who professes
expertise, he does not immediately launch into a 10-hour lecture that
reveals all that he knows in great depth!

The norm on here are the pratts who consider themselves to be the
"superior
race" and know it all
but if you look at the odd technical type thread they put on they actually
know very little.
