I'm generalizing Suber's lovely term in a way that seems appropriate; if he actually objects to this, I'll find a different term. But it seems that once you go so far as to coin a lovely term like "logically rude", then doing nothing but questioning the other person's motives is just a specialized kind of logical rudeness.

Just to be clear, I myself wasn't objecting.
