Rand was rude towards people who disagreed with her for the sake of publicity just like this article. Disagreeing with good reason is what they should do instead.

Rand was also a little bit extreme in her beliefs. It's very much a "do as I say, not as I do" situation. She told people that they should disagree with her if they found logical merit in dismissing her theories, then disowned anybody who attempted to do so.

How is which rude?

Rand is rude when she dismisses some of her critics because she often refuses outright to admit that any of them have valid points.
