Can you be more specific about the behaviors that come off as rude? It looks like you've identified an important problem (and one that many people fail to notice-- congratulations!), but in a very abstract way.

In myself it's usually a tendency to immediately be infinitely uncharitable to people making bad arguments, which leads to me being sarcastic and/or making fun of them insteaad of doing any useful explaining.

Yes, I made another short post which was about Russell's teapot, but was ostensibly framed around a letter by Sam Harris, and I was more snarky than cooperative with the comments. Well, recognize your errors and move forward, yeah? Thank you for asking for clarification.
