I should say that I find the above position grossly disagreeable. It makes me not want to know that person or that person's views. I can't imagine that kind of person having much sense of empathy or of caring, so necessary in what defines us as "human."
But Harry also touched upon a reason: Some people are just rude and disagreeable by nature. Perhaps it's the way one's brain is wired. I wonder if this kind of person is normally an agreeable type, or is always so full of herself/himself that the world revolves around this type of personality.

In my observation (your mileage may differ), people who are just rude and disagreeable by nature don't tend to stay in ares where they get continually ignored. People with absolutist worldviews do, in essense to proslytise(win converts - I can't spell or type worth beans), and consider the disagreement as a necessary nuisance in order to win converts to their worldview.
