If that "someone" is a troll or a stalker, it is they who are 
rude, and not their victim.  Some questions are nothing but 
provocations ("have you stopped beating your wife?" being the most 
well-known example). You cannot really have rules to keep people 
from being rude, because the truely rude will always abuse such 
rules to their own benefit.  We're all volunteers here, nobody is 
forced to do any work or answer any questions.
