Are they elitist philosophers?

Even though one may sense a sense of elitism within the philosophical arena there has been no arguments in the past to support that the field is full of elitists. In fact, from my observations of philosophers today they seem to be pretty much divided into the odd groups of philosophers with a rather scruffy look to them and obscure behavior OR those who are unapproachable and only talk to those they believe are worth of their company. This again is a speculation and I have not yet found any evidence to say that philosophers are elitists regardless of one's urge to want to say so. I guess it can be said of people from any field of academia really. The whole academic stage is full of mixed people from mixed backgrounds. Now I read that some people believe that Nietzsche's ubermensch is the ultimate elite, as is the entire conception of the Master v. the Slave. And Thomas Hobbes was a strident monarchist while Edmund Burke was a proponent of English monarchy. Now the factors leading to elitism are inhumanity, slavery, civil war, intolerance, poverty, class inequality, male dominator culture, arrogance, discrimination, prejudice and so on. This is not to say however that elitist philosophers or those who have such advantages are the ones who succeed in their message. In fact I would like to believe today, from all the experiences and observations that I had in the past, the those who will remain at the end of the day are the "ordinary" philosophers who will be able to explain to you in a layman style whatever you would like to know about human nature, life and moral choices for instance. It is true that philosophy is the most important subject, to me perhaps. This is because it address issues that no other subject is capable of addressing, issues that are so dear to you, as a human being, as a person in society, as a man or a woman. Philosophy talks to us and about us. I cannot imagine any other subject that would be able to convey all my being in the same way. But then again I wonder why some avoid it, misunderstand it to be something it is not, or even ignore it. Those who do that are lost in their own world and are afraid of what philosophy is really all about. And for this reason, I would like to believe that the ordinary philosopher will be the one who continues to exists because he will be always understood, appreciated and needed.
