There's a difference between "I think you're stupid because you're asking questions" and "I don't have the time/patience/interest/whatever to answer your questions." I've certainly encountered my share of the latter, but I don't interpret it as an insult to my intelligence. (Or even worse, there's also "I don't like your questions because my idea won't stand up to close scrutiny." I get that every once in a while too.)
