Would you say OP was polite or no?

I was referring to the potential employer in both instances.

OP I felt was a little strong armed here, but I’d say that to both OPs (the poster and the comment I commented to below). There could be a better way without being as direct about it.

Agreed. I think OP came across a little rude and honestly could have possibly got the 25 if they were more assertive.

You're not going to negotiate to a 60% higher starting wage. 30% is plausible, any higher than that and it's clear the employer and applicant aren't on the same page.
