Situations like this is actually more common than most people think.
It's obviously not an exaggeration to say that anime fans, like many other passionate enthusiasts of the world, is generally known to be more shy, quieter and not so great with their social skills. The "communication deficiency", if we must call it that, carries over when it comes to convention management, which is a relatively stressful job. It could simply due to the reason that a staff doesn't particularly have a interpersonal skills to relay his thoughts to other fans, and/or that he just got really stressed out.
Anime lovers, in general, are part of a younger age demographics. I don't particularly think younger = crazier, but puberty does equal rebellious and self-searching. The staff, many of them not much older than the con attendees, deal with the same issues, and going through the same phases in their lives. Conflicted inside, to say the least, may also been a factor for communication issues.
Of course, there are definitely those losers in life where they are completely unqualified to be in a management position. Being a convention staff may be the highest position they can ever get in their lives to have some control of something other than themselves. That usually leads them to act like a bunch of police academy rejects and think they can talk down to people because of a fancy walkie talkie they wear.
Fanime is still very new and very young. It'll take sometime to knock its kinks into places.
