I believe the only functioning rig I have right now could be assembled for less than $300 (dac, amp and headphones) and somehow I don't feel out of place. Do I own some other nice stuff, eh, I guess but I'm pretty firmly planted in the mid-fi range of things and content there.
Perhaps people's problems with you boil down to your incessant need to name every piece of gear you own in most of your posts? Or perhaps it's your penchant for talking about how little money you have, then naming the huge quantity of gear you own, then talking about selling said gear to acquire more expensive gear that generally just wears on people. It also forces them to associate you with your gear. Honeslty, I don't know. I've neither met you in real life nor interacted with you much online but I've seen enough to note the trends listed above so I doubt I'm alone.
