While I agree that it is usually better to quote a minimal context
instead of top- or bottom-posting, I definitely agree with Dj that it's
not something anyone can or should impose, even less so in a harsh way.
The fact that Rugxulo obviously answered from outside of the Usenet calls
for an even higher dose of tolerance.
Still, if one would really want to go anal about this RFC stuff, then:
1. RFC are no standards, otherwise they wouldn't be called "RFCs" in the
first place
2. The very same RFC you mention does say:
"this Guide offers a minimum set of behaviors which organizations and
individuals may take and adapt for their own use."
^^^
Even if the RFCs were any kind of golden rule that everyone has to follow
(which they are not!), this particular RFC makes itself optional anyway.

In this line of thoughts, you could also add that flaming around with
nonsense about bottom- vs top- vs thread-posting was also the norm
"everywhere on Usenet". Let's not get back to that.
