I think it all depends on where you are at. I know I have a bad habit of doing that, sometimes without realizing I'm doing it until I hear the pop. I try to be conscious of it at a family dinner table or somewhere it is supposed to be quiet (movie theatre, church, library, etc.), but walking down the aisles of the grocery store I don't worry about. I've hear a lot worse things in public than someone cracking the knuckles.

I don't think so. I do it all the time without thinking about it. If I catch myself, I feel a little silly because it looks like I'm trying to be tough or something but I don't think it's rude.

I personally think it is... I find myself cringing whenever I hear somebody do it, not because of the sound, but because it sounds like it hurts. Same reason why I hate nails against chalkboard... it's not the sound that bothers me, but the fact that I hear the sound makes me aware that somebody's doing it, and I hate the feeling you get in your fingers when you do it. x_x If that makes any sense.

It is considered rude by some...it is better to knuckle a crackhead than to crack your knuckles in public

Not really rude but sometimes annoying like a small child popping its gum. (not a good thing to do in the library or in chruch.)

it completely depends on the person's point of view. me, i don't care, i crack my knuckles all the time. but my best friend, she hates it. so this question could be answered by both yes and no.

I think I'm actually bothered by myself doing it, rather than other people being bothered by me. i crack my knuckles, wrists, neck, back, even ankles and elbows...and so far, no one has really said anything.

Only if you put your knuckles in someone's face and crack them.

Many people find the sound unnerving, so I'd say yes.
