I've had my fair share of similar experiences. Through all of it though I think you'll come to understand that this community in particular isn't actually that bad. In the end everyone here seems to share the same common interests and the other staff here are very reasonable when it comes time to take any action.
There are definitely some people out there that just like the idea of hitting a button or two that other regular users don't have the permission to use, but that kind of mentality exists even outside of the online world.
Just try to deal with it and don't let it ruin your week.
