self-righteous people on duty
...Or self-righteous persons on duty
A self-righteous person enthusiastically oozes the following attributes:
His opinions are correct, just because he is the source.
Others' opinions are suspect - especially when those perspectives are well informed, because the self-righteous one is not the source.
Self-righteous people are most interested in themselves and only interested in others to the degree that others support their image of rightness.
When a self-righteous person is truly out ranked, out smarted, or out classed, he usually shuts down and doesn't know what to do. It's as if there were no inner program with an option that allows for someone else to be better, smarter or have greater credibility.

Example sentence:
...magic is only enjoyed by ignoring the Internet where <b>self-righteous people on duty</b> spoil the fun of enchantment, hastening to kill wonderment and indulgence in tricks that can't hurt anyone
“Son, never trust a man who doesn’t drink because he’s probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time.
