Rejecting me is the opposite of polite. I don't care if I never get an offer from them, I don't want to work with a company that chose to reject me. I'm happy to burn my bridges with them. How would it make it hard for me to retain jobs if I do this? I was more worried about whether or not it would set me up for legal consequences to reply rudely. I don't care one bit if it makes this company view me as persona non grata.

Companies reject good people every day - if they need to hire 1 person, they can't just hire 5 because that many good people applied. So rejecting you is NOT IMPOLITE. But with your attitude, you don't even sound like a good choice. The consequences aren't legal ones, they are the 'I can't get a job anywhere' ones.

Plus, there's social media. If he ends up blasting the company, they can always take it to sites like LinkedIn and expose him there and that can have long lasting effects on career.
