sitnspin:
Both made sub-optimal social interaction choices.
Being rude or wrong doesn't inherently make one a bad person, which seems to be the two ideas you are conflating.

I never said they were mutually exclusive.
They were neither rude nor wrong. Whatever "wrong" means in this context.
Tova:
We're all big believers in here, aren't we, that the feelings of the recipient of a behavior are more important than the intent behind it. Right?
Well, Brun and the dog guy are both perfectly fine. Neither of them have been even remotely hurt by this exchange. I imagine they'd both be puzzled by the fuss being raised here.
The suggestion that, for example, it's more polite to give your phone number is a perfectly reasonable one, but that doesn't mean that anything less polite than that is rude.
"Sub-optimal" and "rude" are not synonymous.
sitnspin:
I am beginning to suspect the disagreement here primarily comes down to how much respective emotional weight we place on the word "rude". You seem to place much more on it than I do, so I will bow out.
Tova:
Yes, I do think that "rude" is a serious charge. Are you in the habit of leveling it at people who behave "sub-optimally?" Are you then surprised when they are offended or upset?
