the thing is...people still think this fixed gear thing makes them an individual, they're scared of others coming along and stealing it from them. They want to keep it all for themselves.
so when new people come along (like yourself) people do what they can to scare them off hoping that they'll throw their 'fixie' in a skip and move on to the next trend.
