I don't know about anyone else but lately I have run across some very rude and arrogant people especially ones that don't pay for membership.
This is no place for rude people..

I have been lucky as I have only had a run across a couple of rude people. Luckily that unlike in real life, it is easier to shut them down here
I guess it depends on your definition of rude. The ones I have found the rudest don't usually last to long. Those who do can be easily blocked.
I feel sorry for the people around them who can't easily get away from their childish abuse. I can just ignore them here, or block them if necessary.
I've only had to block about five people who I've found to be really rude. There are others who when I see their avatar, I just stay clear.
Luckily I haven't come across anyone I really consider "rude". Like anywhere there are some people we can take or leave and like anywhere real friendships just happen naturally. Today especially I am thankful for all of my friends here.
It takes all types.
As I work in an industry that sees more than a few rude and unpleasant people, I just ignore them. Then you really see their true colours.
It's gonna take a lot to offend me. Don't allow them to take you down to there level
I just consider what I am dealing with and block them. I don't have the time or patience to put up with fools. Unfortunately there is always a pool of sharks gathering.
I have met one or two but they are no trouble really. As others have said they are easy to dispatch.
Generally though, people are respectful and I have had many a good conversation.
Can't say its been a real issue for me, my workplace is far nastier than Lush. I just ignore it.
There are a few, like in any community, but they help give the site its flavor. I have gotten pissed at trolls a time or two, but never had to block anyone.

I have come across a few but you will anywhere. At least here when you have had enough you can block or ignore them.
Wouldn't you rather have a nice cup of tea?
If you're going to be rude, at least have the decency to be entertaining/intelligent.
Otherwise, not worth my time or attention.
Don't believe everything that you read.
There are some, especially in the threads oriented toward politics. Some people can argue their points reasonably and without insult, but others thrive on invective. The latter write to provoke. I try to ignore them and not give them any attention.
