From my experience I would rank the battle.net communities as such.
Diablo 2 > Starcraft > Warcraft III.
You can't really expect that much when you realize who comprises most of the community.
Diablo 2 has the most cheaters and idiots, but there are also an equal proportion of decent minded players. Also many cheaters now use automated bots to play for them, so there are less idiots to deal with. I would like to note though, some of the most generous and well-mannered people came from Diablo 2. You take the good in with the bad. Considering Diablo 2 is the largest of the battle.net populace, you have to expect these extremes. D2 would have an even better community had it not been so easy to cheat and "cheese" Eventually you will be able to gather up enough friends to play your own private games. I think it would be nice if you were patient enough to hold on and use the squelch button. Also, these idiots are easy to insult, as most of them seem to have self-esteem issues. :) It's fun :D
Now honestly, I've quit Diablo 2 because I've seen the "community spirit" dwindle away, but it was more out of being tired of the game than anything else.
If you really want to see what's bad, go see Warcraft III on battle.net. -_-
But then, I'm also the type to find some fun with people trying to Pk me (not drop/trigger hacking, of course) , so this may be somewhat skewed. :o

With great power comes the great need to blame other people.
