Quoted from jlm33:

Adding a few categories:
1b. Players with (little or) No skill (or no time). They're not looking for CQ pins on the market, they just want a working game. Most can still fix basic things, change rubbers, fuses, check connections, send a board for repair... but prefer playing over trouble shooting. No interest in modding the game, except to correct design flaws (air balls, etc). They can live with an esthetic flaw... but can't stand a non working

Sounds like me too. The only people I disdain in the hobby are the disdainers. Arrogance is acceptable in very small doses in very few things in this world IMO. So what if the only types of games someone likes are 90s era DMD? Their money and their interest help the hobby too.

Quoted from pinsanity:

6. Cliquers - geographically blinkered with a limited in group

One would think that pinball would be a lot more of a social (socially open) hobby if for no other reason than statistically pinheads are deviants... in terms of society as a whole. Pinball isn't an everyday, household hobby everywhere so it would seem that pinheads would be more socially accepting of each other.

Outside of my new league I sadly haven't found that to be the case. Maybe I'm into pinball for the wrong reasons.
