When average-bad players berate my ultra-bad-fish-buddies I nearly always stick up for my fish buddies and make fun of the average-bad players (plus defend my ultra-fish-buds)

Same here.

Also I have also noticed an increase in rudeness.

One question, what do you normally say to defend them? I usually say something like, "Losers always try to tell the winners how to play."

Any better ones?

I agree. I will sometimes defend them by saying something like "well, he is winning" or "you seem to know alot to be losing so often".

Since few of them know much, if any, about real strategy I sometimes throw in statements like "Q-4 offsuite is my favorite hand, it always wins for me". I figure it may help them to identify and see me as a total newbie.
