WIST Quotations<a href="https://wist.info/martin-judith/78705/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">A quotation from Judith Martin</a><blockquote>Q. Is it ever acceptable to be rude?   A. No. Now, that doesn’t mean you have to let people walk all over you. Etiquette does not render you defenseless. If it did; even I wouldn’t subscribe to it. But rudeness in retaliation for rudeness just doubles the amount of rudeness in the world.</blockquote>Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a.
