If someone is being plain rude, then I can be rude back, but if they're just being stupid or annoying, I do find it harder to be plain rude to someone. I wouldn't call that soft, more just asking the question if it's necessary or not. Manners is not doing anything that would make others feel uncomfortable.
That's why my question is more if people find it rude when people do this to you. I'm not asking for advice or anything, it's more of a vox-pop.

though the three or four before that are in a similar vein.

My question is, since I see it as incredibly rude to hang up ...[text shortened]... it is acceptable, why is it acceptable on the internet and not in other forms of communication?
If you are trying to be reasonable, but the other cannot desist from being rude and obtuse, whose is the fault that the phone is put down?

Double-glazing trolls, forum trolls.
Some are easier to spot than others.

No one was being rude I think, just a bit derogatory, and obtuse. If there's any difference between the two!
