I've played a 'jerk' on a few occasions, my latest excursion into that RP being on the Threshold MUD. In that particular instance it was not met kindly, and was shunned and berated to the fullest extent, so a 'jerk' character does not work well with a MUD like that. However, I have stepped into the reins of such a character before, and they can be incredibly fun characters to play. The three points that Yev brought up, especially the 3rd, help out greatly.
Word of advice, if you are going to play that kind of character though, you must be willing to become engrossed in it, and use it to stir RP, or else you will just be veiwed as that dumb guy whose sole reason for logging on is to be an ass. You need to take the character in such a way that you don't just do 'mean' things to everyone and for any reason, but must be able to set certain parameters for when you go off the handle, no matter how wide or thin that line is you still need to have it. <-- At least that has been my experience.
