No it isn't. It's dead simple to convey. You're just being contemptuous.

I think that's really, really RUDE! I honestly couldn't come up with
as good an analysis as you have below. That doesn't make ME
"contemptuous" but you sure come on patronizing. Oh well, despite
this unpleasantness, I have learned something, which this information
sponge always values, so thanks... I guess...

A "disinterested" party is one who doesn't stand to gain by taking sides
in a dispute. Often used in legal context. Often followed by the phrase
"third party": disinterested third party.

An "uninterested" person is one who doesn't give a rat's ass about the
topic at hand.

Think about a mediator: Very interested, completely disinterested.
