while responding to rude comments, I kept wondering whether I should be rude or polite in response, and didn't know

Are you explicitly equating "X comments get more upvotes" with "I should be X" here, or is this part of a broader exercise in data gathering?

I'm asking what gets more upvotes because we can measure that. Figuring out how that relates to "should" is difficult, and left to the reader as an exercise.
