Might just be me though.
Please point to a significant amount of posts... or, wait, even one! that supports your point of people saying that its okay to go around and call people idiots.

Most of us are actually adovating for giving advice in a polite and friendly manner - or dismissing people silently from a duty.
No one here says that you should go around and call people "idiots". There is no need to insult someone, that is indeed never justified. And I dont recall reading a post that said otherwise.

But not playing at 70 like you know that you're at level 70 is also never justified - not even by the points listed in the OP. At a certain point you stop being new; sorting out your UI is something you do on your own time; and if you're sick enough that it influences your performance greatly: Stay in bed, rest, get better - or at least dont burden 3/7/23 strangers with it.
Telling someone who cant perform the basics of their job in The Burn shouldnt happen, I agree - but its also totally justified to tell that person, in a polite manner, that they really need to improve.
