Did you mention this to him? Something like, "did you notice that guy didn't even acknowledge my existence?"
Having said all that, yes, there are many captains who look down their noses at f/o's.
You're right. I sat many years in the right seat and had a couple of j/s'ers ignore me too. So now I'm in the left, I introduce the js'er to the F/O if they don't do it themselves and include them in the coversation. It's just good manners. Your Capt. should have done that too.
