You can have your own rant about "user-defined binary operators being over-used within the R community" without suggesting that my rant was rude. I don't think it was and, in any case, I was not going after a individual in particular. Contrary to popular belief and to what I tell my daughter, rolling your eyes in public is not rude at all and is actually a lot of fun.
