If someone is being rude is it morally right to be rude back to them? Shouldnt we tolerate rudeness by allowing rude people to just be rude?

Would I be a bad person for stopping someone from being rude to me?
 
Yes, being rude to someone for any reason counts as being rude. If you decide to be rude to someone because they have it coming - it's still considered rudeness.

Hope this helps.


Edit: The OP calling Dave "Deborah," would be exceedingly rude ... on several levels.

I cannot quite figure out what quoting DiamondDave on the pope & socialism has anything to do with you, Caption. Much less being rude to you personally unless you are the pope. ( jk )

on the subject of rudeness.. if someone is rude to you personally and your reaction is to be rude to them in response - it would be an act of weakness. You should not react to rudeness with rudeness. imo.

Dont worry about it it has nothing to do with the OP.

Would it be rude to interrupt their rudeness?
 
Isn't that how you all want to live life?

going around wailing to everyone who were rude

now it seems some have taken that as a rule to MOCK others they don't agree with and believe them rude

hummmm

No, being nice to them just lets them get away with their crap.

Rude people need to be corrected, and if being an ass towards them is the only way for them to get it, then so be it.

Rudeness is not acceptable to start a conversation or an interaction, but it is sure as hell a proper way to finish it.

This is only my opinion, Caption. I believe there are some people who are rude who by my allowing them to follow through with their rudeness - will only reveal their rudeness to one and all which works in my favor if I have the patience for it. Same goes for vindication. I can be very aware of things being said which are untrue while not responding on a single point. Why? Because vindication is a sign of weakness in my opinion. So it isn't good to vindicate. You could go quiet on the thing but never vindicate. imo.
 
I just ignore them usually...now if they push it...look out

mostly I feel they aren't worth my time

He doesn't need to be "nice" to anyone. He can be who he is without being rude. If you are responding back with a rude statement you have taken the bait. That is what they want. You cannot do it.. You respond from a place of strength which is to ACT ( when you are ready not when they are ) not a place of weakness which is to REACT ( big diff )

If Caption were in an office situation of enduring a rude co - worker - and it was done in front of other workers he could certainly confront the behavior boldly right then and make it known to those present that the person being confronted is seriously out of line. Rude people don't become rude in a day. Most likely others present would be grateful for the confrontation so they didn't have to deal with it in the future. Sometimes the person who is being rude doesn't even realize how they sound. That is something else to consider. My experience is that rude people are selfish people. To the core.

The forum does have to be taken into account. Work is a different set of rules, than say this message board, or driving. For me driving and this message board is the same. If some asshole cuts me off or doesnt follow the rules of the road, ITS FUCKING GO TIME.
 
This forum has an ignore button. It works beautifully. Why let someone live inside your head all day because you are reading their words when you wouldn't give them 2 minutes on a telephone? Better yet why let someone rob you of your peace when you don't have to? I wouldn't respond to anything they write - Marty - problem solved -

Its go time when you're not facing the other person seems to be a pattern

Because here and on the road, if other people cannot or will not correct other people's idiocy, then someone has to do it.

Except in the CT zone, I spent a week in there and almost punched my hand through my monitor.

No, i make sure to pull up in front of them and express my displeasure personally.

I have also told off people being asses in elevators, on line at a supermarket checkout, and cutting others in line.

Someone has to enforce the rules.
