What does being RUDE mean?

Am really sorry if this might come out as a rant blog, by no means do I wish to mix sentimentality in this post, but there has been something(someone) that had been bothering me lately, and I wish to air it out.

Meme time!

Online. Being online leaves us unrestricted in so many ways, letting us reach out to people from all over the world. Mizahar is such an example. We have players from all sides of this planet, who grew up in different cultures and live in different styles. I am so pleased to be able to meet people online and get along with them in the most friendliest manner I could think of.

Nevertheless, as one of my new-found friends here said, sometimes you just don't like a person for some reason. No matter how much other people seem to like(tolerate) this person, you just don't like him/her. There must be a scientific explanation to it, but beyond me, and all possible forms of explanation, I really really think there's this someone who pushes all my buttons wrong. The sight of this PC's name in chat is enough to make me gag. If there was a way to hide this PC's name and messages, I would.

Don't really know why... but I find this person really RUDE. With all the capital letters.

And on what side of the planet does being RUDE constitute as a civilized manner of interacting with people? I know I can get snarky sometimes, but I'm not a 24/7 jerk who thinks it's cool to have enemies. I swear, some people can be self-conceited douchebags, sometimes. It's RUDE when you think you're the center of the universe. It's RUDE when you belittle people just because you think it's your God-given, constitutionally-written right to speak out your fart-smelling opinions. It's RUDE when someone says you're being RUDE and you keep on being RUDE. It's RUDE when you criticize other people for being imperfect you PERFECTLY IMPERFECT RUDE person!

Rawr! :angry:

I'm so sad I feel this way towards this certain PC. :((

I'm usually very polite and kind, and I can even tolerate people like this weird Zith who came to Sahova claiming she was the "Goddess of Chaos and Destruction" (I think she must be playing a PC who is delusional, you have to give him/her the benefit of the doubt). Because the first thing I try to tell myself whenever I start to feel inexplicably negative towards somebody, is that maybe there was a reason for the person to be a jerk. But, this attention-hogging loudmouth treats everybody(even a Founder, on one instance), like they were heaps of dung. For no reason, except that this said person thinks it's funny. This person is on the shortlist of people I don't like. He has a rotten sense of humor and an even worse sense of camaraderie.

So, am I being RUDE for criticizing this PC's arrogance through a blog? Well, to be honest, if I ever come out as RUDE, I only come second best to that person. At least I get to keep this little personal space out of his sphere of superciliousness.
