I think it can be honestly hard to get to know people in fannish spaces. So much interaction is public, but often still talk the most with people whom they're already friends with, BNFs included. And "friending" someone on LJ doesn't equal actual friendship. So it can be very hard to start interacting with someone in a natural way.

I'm admittedly overly-paranoid about social interaction, so I think about this stuff way too much, but what I generally do is make a point to start commenting in posts that are clearly meant to be public. If a post seems a little more intimate and the only people who are commenting are the person's friends, I'm usually more careful about jumping in.

If someone is rude to you for literally just trying to start a conversation, though, then they do sound like they might be a jerk.
