Why would you assume I'm a peon? Or that I haven't climbed the six figure ladder? In fact, you don't know anything about me, why would you react this way?
One of the things you learn as you get a little more maturity is that: a) it never pays to be rude or uncivil to anyone you don't personally know, b) no matter how much of a hot shit you think you are, you will look like a giant douchebag when you try to pull it on other people, c) there's always the possibility that you are wildly wrong.
You actually hit on all three of those points in this particular situation. Good luck with your startup.
