In particular, if you're not willing to help other people with their
problem (that they think "RTFM" is rude, eg), then you should expect
anyone else to help you with your problem (that people experience
rudeness from one developer, and conclude Debian's rude in general).
We're meant to be working together to create an operating system,
dismissing complaints with "that's your problem" doesn't help with that.
If you don't want to help solve a problem, that's fine: just don't. But
"Well, that's your problems." goes further, potentially to the point of
stopping the problem from being solved at all.
(OTOH, there are other ways of resolving "RTFM is rude!" than never
saying "RTFM" again.)
