Actually, I think you're wrong about that. If you're hanging out mostly with Sheppard/Weir 'shippers, then yes, you're going to get a lot of that reaction from the more immature fans (and we do seem to have an uncommon lot of them over in S/W-dom, so many that there are times I'm tempted to switch sides just for the purpose of disowning them, not because my own feelings about who works with who have changed... :-P ),
I got slightly annoyed at this comment and then I remembered... that I'd stopped shipping S/W a while back and that most of the S/W shippers on my flist were actually quite mature and that I hadn't been on the LJ community for a while so perhaps there were now more than the fair share of ship doofuses. I know that some of my flist complain about them too. I know that some on my flist aren't perfect too.
The Atlantis ship fandom (S/W and S/T) has put me off ever entering in any fandom again, but I keep getting stuck in this one. Oh well, I might throw it off one day, but at the moment it's quite interesting to read everyone's point of view.
