If anything, the "twirl it against the spoon" thing is what's rude. Only peasants use a spoon in Italy. (Direct quote from Emily Post, BTW) And I've NEVER heard of actually putting it on a spoon and eating it with a spoon!! If you can't manage to twirl spaghetti without hitting everyone with sauce, cut it with your fork. Or order penne pasta instead.
