I don't think there's so much as a problem of ignorance ("lolwut") as there is a divergence in opinion. Everyone has a preferred way they want the game to play. Most of the time when something goes a different way, people are upset and call the other side a "lolwut". You probably know that anyway.
Yes, there are genuinely ignorant people on the server. The proportion is very small, though, and you can easily pick out from a crowd those with no idea what's going on serverside. Those same people will change rather quickly most of the time, too, if not with a mild redirection then a small administrative action will turn him the right way. Honestly, the contention found all about is not from those people.
Is the population worth it? Singleplayer games are only fun for so long. Sometimes Battlefield 3 annoys me when my team is terrible, but I keep coming back to it. Sure, someone who thinks of RP in a different manner will annoy the spit out of you, but without that challenge you would never play this game.
