I agree with the general principle-- rudeness and incivility should be avoided, and treated with a "broken windows" policy-- but in this case, I fail to see the rudeness in swombat's response. You asked Who's been calling to kidnap his son?, and swombat pointed out that the article you were responding to quoted Assange as saying An American blogger has called for my 20-year-old son, here in Australia, to be kidnapped and harmed for no other reason than to get at me. In other words, the answer to your question truly was in TFA, and swombat not only pointed that out to you, he actually quoted the relevant passage. That warrants an upvote in my view.
