The scientist that was answering questions about it keeps saying that they didn't discover it and they were awfully rude. I know they were probably tired of hearing stuff about it, but they didn't have to be rude. What do you think about this?

I went to that site. Here is a link with the search term, "Nibiru":

I read all 13 questions and David Morrison's responses. They were good information, and you would get similar responses here. Regarding NASA websites and Nibiru, that is
specifically discussed:

Question:
I was on the NASA home page and searched Planet Niburu. Come to find out there actually is a planet beyond Pluto and they are calling it Niburu.Some said Planet Niburu didnt exist but now we know it does! There havent been many straight answers on this subject so I dont really expect to get the total truth,but here I go. Is there ANY chance of a Niburu flyby in 2012? And if there is why dont the public have a right to know so that we can prepare ourselves?
Answer:
I’m sorry if the NASA webpage confused you. I just checked, and there is no mention of Nibiru other than the various statements that it does not exist and is a hoax. There is a 2005 news story on the discovery of one of the transneptunian dwarf planets, 2003UB313. UB313 was subsequently given the name Eris, and there is plenty of information about Eris on the web, including a good introduction in Wikipedia. But this has nothing to do with Nibiru, which is not mentioned in the NASA story. I don’t understand why you and the others who have been writing to “Ask an Astrobiologist” don’t accept that Nibiru does not exist. You must want very much for this object to be real, although I can’t see why. But please accept the truth, that Nibiru is a hoax, linked to a religious cult, and having nothing to do with science. But perhaps some of you will need to wait until 4 years to see that nothing happens in 2012 when this object is supposed to fly close to Earth.

There are other answers that point out that Eris in no way matches the fictional Nibiru. I'm not sure I would say the responses are rude, but it is clear he's frustrated with the repeated questions.

Question:
Is there a planet Nibiru that will pretty much destroy earth in 2012? I watched a video about it last night and I freaked out so bad i was shaking and crying. Is our world coming to an end in 2012? If so... why cant we just blow the thing up and call it a day?
Answer:
I am really sorry that these crazy Nibiru claims have upset you. I don't want to keep answering these questions about Nibiru, but let me say once more as clearly as I can, for you and the other questioners: Nibiru does not exist. NASA has never discovered or detected Nibiru or anything remotely like it. The handful of dwarf planets that astronomers have discovered beyond Neptune are on stable orbits that will never come into the inner solar system, let alone threaten Earth. Nothing will happen in 2012. Nibiru is simply a fake, a hoax, the result of a small religious cult that is unfortunately scaring lots of people with totally false stories.
