is it wrong to let someone know they were rude?

It is vitally important to listen to the Spirit of God. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, "To every thing there is a season." Ecclesiastes 3:7 tells us there is "a time to keep silence, and a time to speak." The way to know when each should occur is through Holy Ghost leadership. Romans 8:14 states, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."
​
Proverbs 18:19 warns, "A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city." Proverbs 25:11 speaks of "a word fitly spoken." The Apostle Paul instructed in Colossians 4:5, "Walk in wisdom toward them that are without." Holy Ghost direction and wisdom would dictate whether it is "a time to keep silence" or "a time to speak."
