For the most part the people on Stage32 are friendly, professional and more than willing to help one another out. However, there are some folks on here who are just plain rude and uppity. This is a networking site. I haven't directly encountered the rude folks but I've seen some of the snide commentary and can't help but wonder what the disconnect is. If you don't feel comfortable with or feel as though it would be pointless to accept someone's connection request, don't accept it!
