Be Objective and Honest - Where am I right and where am I wrong?
It's not how things are supposed to be, but in most relationships there's often one person who feels freer to have an opinion about (and express it to) the other person.
If you're asking for people's opinions you're pretty much sending the signal you're open to people's opinions (and even want them). So I think you're right: That isn't helping.
In another thread about something else, I mentioned that I have a friend who's the youngest of a bunch of siblings (parents are dead, they've appointed themselves "parent" to her). The trouble is, she's - like - 40!
She always says how when they start telling her what's wrong with her, and what she should be doing, she'll do this thing where she's acting like she's looking all around her for some invisible thing; and she'll say something like, "I'm looking for the sign that's supposed to be hanging around my neck and that says, 'I'm interested in what you think about what I am/do'". 
(or words similar to that )
As far as being rude goes... To me, a bad day may be an excuse for not being able to be cheerful and happy, but it's not an excuse for anyone being rude. All you can do is choose not to be rude yourself and let other people's rudeness be their problem - not yours. If someone else makes a habit of being rude to you, stay away from them as much as possible. One consequence of being rude to people is that relationships get damaged, and people drift apart. If the relationship matters to you and siblings, you might want to talk about mutual respect from all involved. Otherwise, let their rudeness be the thing that makes you end up keeping your distance from them. If the other person wants to shape up and stop being rude - great. Then you can re-think being around them.
(Just my opinion, of course. Maybe I'm completely wrong about it. I just know letting rudeness and lack of respect go on without taking some action, at best, doesn't tend to get any better.)

Superficial friendliness or rude honesty?
In the mother of all ironies, I witnessed a fight break out over, get this, friendliness. A tried and true confederate soldier descentant was arguing that Southerners were by far nicer and kinder than Yankees and...

Rudeness
Is it me?!It seems to me that a number of Christians think that it is their God-given right to be rude to non-believers ~ atheists, agnostics, etc.This is most certainly not true of all Christians. I know, and am close...

Inform Hubber why a Hub was flagged
I think it is vital that when someone flags your hub you are told who did it and why. If someone complained about you at work, protocol dictates that the person is supposed to go to you first and let you know that they...
