That's odd because I fish with all sorts of methods and would never think to generalize about one particular group or the other. Sounds like sour grapes and jealousy when you do. In fact, I've seen fishermen employing all kinds of methods do exactly what you described above. Often I find fly fishermen to be quite in tune with their environment, sometimes moreso than others fishing with other methods. They put themsleves at an automatic disadvantage and yet are still capable of fishing well. As far as rude behavior is concerned, I years ago stopped fishing the sewer that is the Canal because of the antics that go on at that place (and it's not know as a fly rodding mecca AFIK). No need to even cross the bridge if rude behavior is what you're looking for.
