Hinduism is vast. In my personal experience, only a very few denigrate other sects. Most, if they are a member of a sampradaya or sect at all, (and most aren't) simply say nothing. If they say anything, it's a non-judgemental comment like, 'Oh yeah, that's another whole group within Hinduism' Same for differing temples within a city. Most Hindus are secure enough not to make it ino some kind of silly competition. After all, we have so much in common.
