Reacting to rude behavior with rude behavior is the same old "eye for an eye" - and we all know what that leads to.
Once he started holding out on interviews - or start putting conditions on them - the recently rebuilt positive public perception could vapourize due to lack of exposure and his career could suffer as a result.

Yet reacting to repeated rude behavior by reporters/interviewers with kindness signals acceptance of such behavior.

He has to draw the line somewhere. As much of a pacifist that I am, sometimes an eye-for-an-eye response is the only option.
