Usually I'm quick to hijack but your post (kind of sadly) seems in earnest.
Anyway, I read through some of your posts, and I'm not sure "belittled" is really what I would term it - you said something silly, then argued about it. Not a super endearing start to your career, but it's not like you stabbed a dude. It seems you didn't really check out the (decidedly different) culture of the Chit Chat and Rush areas, which make the other, nicer fora appear as Utopian as Fourier himself imagined.
Esoteric bullshit aside - seriously, you're being overly sensitive here.

Most of us did, in fact, jump all over new members for one reason or another - in fact, this is kind of why pledging exists, to correct issues with new members before they become fully initiated.

It's obviously not a problem, but you're seeing in the responses why searching is (vehemently) encouraged - you're throwing stones against the monolith here, and I'm not sure why you think the monolith should be torn down at your request (and, more importantly, to your benefit).
