I think RunemPard's use of "rude" was referring to the act of requesting access to the opponents' card. And he must have meant that is wrongly perceived as insulting or rude where he plays; it certainly is neither of those things.

Umm, yeah. I don't think RumenPard was calling himself rude. That was me.

Little off topic...When playing at our club, I normally toss my cards in front of each player as I go to sit. The reaction to this is normally a stare as if I am expecting them to read it. These are normally the players who have one card which is either under the bridgemate or in their shirt pocket. Asking for access to this card is not only insulting, but extremely rude.

If someone tossed their convention card into my space without my having requested this, I suspect that my reaction would be to toss it onto the floor.

I would have an adverse reaction if I vented about being unable to have access to the opponents' convention card, and they focussed on the exact manner in which I had presented mine to them for their use.
