There seems to be a lot of confusion between politeness, rudeness and appropriate behavior; remember the Teldra and Vlad had this very discussion, so Teldra is just as likely to be rude, antagonistic, nasty or vicious as any Orca tough... the difference is that Teldra will be completely aware of every nuance of tact or lack of it, aware of the effect it will have on her audience and will have deemed it... appropriate. There are times when appropriate behavior IS a spit in the eye... as we all know.
