He was only partially right. Lack of rudeness in return is sometimes mistaken for weakness; therefore, rudneess is sometimes the only viable defense. The downside to rudeness in return, is that then it is often mistaken for approval of one's own rude actions.
Let me put it this way: I consider your first post rude, impolite, discriminatory, totally uncalled for, totally uncalled for, with no finesse. There was no intent whatsoever on my part to impress, and/or entrertain, you. I just figured I should be polite, rather than out-and-out calling you an asshole, and/or dipshit, in a public group.
Well, I did accomplish my goal; I got thru it without calling you any nasty names at all.
