I consider posts with a lot of bolding and caps and describing others' posts as "crap" rude.
Also, a lot depends on the tone - if someone only posts "Do a f-ing search" without adding anything else, of course that is rude. But, for instance, UpgradeMe does remind users to use the search, but at the same time, he usually posts like four or five relevant results (so he actually does the work for the OP), which should actually help the person who asked.

I mean, in a way it's irritating to answer the same question over, and over, and over again. It's one thing to ask "what is...." but it's also another to ask "I don't understand.... can someone clarify this?"
Call it rude... but I call it honesty and doing a favor.
