[From fairly deep in a thread that started with the usual (disproven) "being polite is always more effective" claim and went on to what people deserve/should expect.] "When you are intolerably rude to others, accept that you have no protection from those others being intolerably rude to you.

A couple more bits of context: 1) in the preceeding paragraph, zoeiona reminded, "Society's taboo against anger works very well as a tool of control against people whose anger is justified: 'you should not be so angry' is the response, as opposed to 'I should not speak and behave in a racist way'." And 2), here's a link to the comment this was in response to.
