The person that doesn't understand monads, but does that grandstanding thing, and is the self-appointed decider on who is a "terrible human", is also very funny. Lots of funnies today :)
I generally find a correlation if that is what you are asking. I am surrounded by people right now who know what monad means, and none of them I would describe as "rude asshole", but that's mostly because I don't play the politicam game, and my experience is not generalisable.
