Hello Andreea,
I'm here from your video on Calvinism and Love. As a thorough-going Calvinist guy myself, I affirm much of what you said. There's a total lack of humility and emotional maturity with what I call "pop-calvinist" guys. Often, they appear to be knowledgeable but they lack theological depth and they think the summary of the Reformed tradition is just "T.U.L.I.P" when it's a lot broader and more complicated than that.
They also have very little grace for opinions on secondary issues which isn't helpful.
I'm not Romanian, but that strain does run through a lot of other circles, especially amongst guys who didn't grow up Reformed but came to it at a later point in life. They come to a caricatured understanding of it, and that breeds a nasty spirit of argumentation, which may last for a while or for a lifetime. Those of us within the Reformed tradition who see that hate it as much as you do and probably even more, since it corrupts our reputation and our ability to engage with others freely.
In any case, we can disagree and remain siblings. There's a lot of room in Christ and his church for all of us. I was born to parents who grew up Presbyterian and later converted to Pentecostal-Charismaticism so I grew up charismatic and still worship in a Pentecostal church often, so even though I don't agree with a lot of charismatic/Pentecostal theology now, I have a soft spot for you guys.
God bless you❤

I agree, especially the distinction between Presbyterianism (the non-liberals) vs those that call themselves "Reformed" but just like John McArthur who is "Reformed" Baptist....
