Narrative: My student pilot had just done an uneventful run-up after which we taxied toward the center line of the taxiway where we started our '360 left turn to look around for traffic in the pattern.'  This was right next to the entrance to Runway XX and in front of the run-up apron. We had noticed another Cessna 152 from our school in the run-up area but it had remained silent and motionless as we initiated our 360.As we turned on the centerline checking the downwind to Runway XX we were stunned to see the C152 zooming by in front of us; without warning or radio call and; as we were clearly engaged in a common procedure (namely our taxi 360 turn to observe potential traffic); I hit the brakes hard to make sure we would get no closer to the other aircraft that had managed to 'squeeze' by without a peep.  I immediately made a radio call and said: '[N number]; next time; use the radio.'  I was immediately hit with an answer from the CFI on board stating: 'I had you in sight; [name]; SHUT UP!'  Bear in mind that up to this point nothing had been personal as my student and I did not even know who was on board [the other aircraft]. I immediately judged that this was inappropriate and told the other young and inexperienced CFI [by name]:'Don't tell me to shut up; you XXXXX!'I regret using the last two words of this exchange but was caught in the moment with the audacity; lack of professionalism and plain ignorance of the level of danger that this new CFI had just put us through.  It had been a close call and he did not even acknowledge it.  Furthermore; we were in a procedure that would have required maybe 5 more seconds for us to move onto the runway for departure.I proceeded to perform my instructor duties uneventfully until I came back to our hangar. I was then faced with the perpetrator of the near miss on the ground who was near a computer that we use to enter our flight times and student records. I asked him what his thought process was and told him to never tell me to shut up; especially when it is a matter of SAFETY.His lack of judgment and incapacity to perceive his wrong doing is one of the reasons for this report.  Another reason is that I brought the situation up to the Chief Flight Instructor who was more concerned about my use of the word 'XXXXX' on the radio than the REAL ISSUE; namely; SAFETY!  I could not believe this denial.This was the second event within five days where I witnessed a total lack of radio communication from two different newly minted CFIs.  I wish to establish a record with this report that I have witnessed a lack of correct radio procedure on the ground and in the air; as well as a TOTAL lack of response from the Chief Flight Instructor in the evaluation of current practices.To add insult to injury; the same Chief Flight Instructor played games with my student who happens to be a Commercially Rated Helicopter Pilot (Army retired) with over 2;000 (two-thousand hours).  When the student reported the facts to the Chief Flight Instructor he was met with sarcasm and deflection of the main topic of safety entirely.  According to the student; if someone had acted like the Chief Flight Instructor did while in the military he would have been put on some kind of notice for as much as six months for endangering lives on the ground.Lessons learned from this for me: I will try not to use expletives even if I am flustered by the actions; unaccountability; or rudeness of others.  My mistake was to allow the CFI and 'Management' to deflect from the real issues at stake here: safety in a training environment and correct radio usage. I have also learned to recognize the signs of complacency and 'boys club mentality' that are detrimental to overall safety and good cohesion of instructors.I will continue; however; to call out any unsafe practices that I witness and lead by example as I know more and more that students will 'mimic' their instructors when soloing and therefore; instructors have to hold themselves to the highest standards possible; especially while instructing.




Synopsis: A close encounter between two C152s; visually clearing the pattern prior to takeoff; resulted in a testosterone fueled radio exchange between the flight instructors aboard each aircraft.  The altercation was further reinforced by the Chief Flight Instructor's attempts to shift blame to the reporter who believes he had merely responded to inappropriate on air comments from the other CFI.
