Hello Wind:
First, what is "comfortable" is a subjective criterion, and therefore dismissible outright.
Second, IMPOLITE and WRONG are not complements. You have a serious category error going.
You can obtain answers on the basis of your two criteria, which are IMPOLITE and WRONG, but all such answers, based upon the premises you offer for criteria, will be Argued Subjectivities, and therefore, dismissible.
What you are doing is looking for answers in either of two objective contexts:
(A) References to what is Lawful
(B) References to what is Moral
These are not the same.
-------
Take for example, the basic argument: "It is wrong to pick on someone".
That is demonstrative of a common logical error designated the Fallacy of the Ipse Dixit
("The---Bare Assertion---Fallacy"). It means, literally, "He--Himself---Hath---Said---It".
It is an error in reasoning because it is supported by neither objective evidence nor reasoning.
That is why such a conclusion is a "bare assertion".
This kind of thinking can be characterized accurately as a kind of:
"Gee, let's just Make---It---All---Up... as we go."
Without clarity as to either the Law or a Logically Coherent Moral Argument, there is little objective knowledge to be obtained.
