when you call someone who always thought you were preposterous and is now in a position of authority and they don't get back to you.

But when it's someone who clearly liked and, at least to some extent, respected you, it just makes them a superficial, arrogant, self-important (even if also actually important) shithead.

Such is the case with the now long-term editor of a once-important humor organization which has spent more than ten years living off the reputation others imbued it with a long time ago and which is now, kind of respectable, if not exactly respected.
