An unfortunate aspect of geek culture that has yet to disappear despite the fact that geek culture has become more accepted into the mainstream pop culture. Comic book shops are really the last vestige in the physical realm where nerds reign supreme and have the authority, therefore you take a group of people who maybe have been abused because of their hobbies and interests their entire lives, you may have a bit of a complex. I honestly believe that the attitudes exhibited at most comic shops are the main reason why comic sales continue to dwindle and new readers prefer superheroes in film, TV, video games, or some other media.
