Usually rude only understands rude... Should some people be allowed to get away with it while others aren't? One could argue that they don't respect people that tolerate rudeness.
And, Carol Jean, when you're so judgmental your argument against being judgemental becomes mute... Obviously there is a generation gap as well as a societal one, since the vernacular is lost on you, so let it go.
Would I argue with anyone? Nope, because I don't give a rat's behind. Do I care if chechinmipo argues with someone? Nope. No skin off my OR my rat's behind.
The last time I checked, we were allowed freedom of speech. He can say or do what he wants. If he ever speaks to you that way, feel free to judge him and walk away.
chechinmipo, in an effort to avoid further debate, perhaps admin will change heifer to be-yotch for you.
Edited to add: Please feel free to call me a heifer, a be-yotch, rude or even a rat's behind.
It's your right.
