When I see rude behavior I respond in kind, since that's clearly what the person understands. To do otherwise is to reward trolling.

ALL of the rude behavior and trolling was yours (and you're still doing it) ... there's nothing rude about "Is a banana taped to a wall "art?" Your answer to that is the answer to your question.". And your behavior violates the site guidelines, whether it was "in kind" or not.

I need to bathe after reading your grossly dishonest excuses. Over and out.

Deflecting a question with a different question is rude. You seem to be taking this a mite personally; I'm not responsible for your bathing schedule.
