I would take some of that as possibly a language issue more than  
outright rudeness or lack of social skills,
esp. when working on a project that involves people from many  
different countries for whom this might be a second
or third language. It's easy to miss or not know subtleties of social  
cues or polite forms if you're not a native speaker/writer.
