That's pretty counter to my experience. I usually find most BJJ guys are pretty cool, though at more MMA oriented schools you do get some meatheads. That's too bad you've had such a bad time. Given that it's 4 different schools you've been to, do you think any of it might be you? What other martial arts have you done? I find that the non-traditional nature of most BJJ gyms can turn guys off who are used to a more organized, hierarchical structure like you find in most TKD gyms.
And the last part of your comment about guys asking you if you've seen a given fighter who's currently active and you being disgusted seems pretty judgemental. Does someone who's 19 have to be a big Saku fan to have your respect? PRIDE was a long time ago. It sounds like that person was actually trying to talk to you about a perceived shared interest. But it sounds like him calling you 'bro' offended you pretty deeply, which is too bad, since that's typically a term of at least some endearment.
