is knockback rude?

[Malevicton]

If I'm knocking back a mob casting a spell, it's not rude. Its necessary.
If I've got my pet on obey and it's knocking things back without a care, it's annoying but still not rude.
If I knock something back, then tell you to bugger off, yes that is rude.

1) that's not really necessary. Maybe stuff like final sting, but that's about it.
2) if garuda's on obey it won't be knocking things around.
