At the end of the day, it's the internet.
I never take anything on the internet too seriously. Also, I think respect is something that is earned - not immediately given. Obviously, people should still show common decency, but respect is something that tends to come further down people's relationship; at least in my opinion...
Judging is something we all do, consciously or sub-consciously. Barely anyone is this world does not judge at all and it's just the fact of life. I judge people all the time, especially the first time I meet them - but I am always willing to admit to myself that my initial thoughts about a person were wrong (first impressions) or just that people change.
Just ignore people you don't like and focus and give your time to people you think deserve it. Although this counts for real life more than the internet, since the internet is well... the internet.
Loads of people do it and saying "metaland" isn't really mean or poor behaviour, it's just ambiguous and I think most new players either don't know what it means or ignores it. However, you can always argue that if they read the rules or had previous role-play experience they'd know about different types of chat and meta-gaming. Although, even when I was an admin, new players can always be excused for their lack of experience and that does happen all the time at Fearless so...
And in some aspects, that's where you're wrong. Elitism is something that will always happen. It happens in the real world, at workplaces, in schools. A hierarchy system which so called "respect" is demanded. Administrators and moderators will always be above normal players and have power of them and I guess some staff members will feel like they are above normal players - of course one can argue they are since they enforce the rules and have power over players. Obviously you can also argue they aren't.
People with experience will regularly look down on people without as much experience and you're just going to have to deal with it because unfortunately, that's life...
