Forum:Attack interruption

I heard that if a monster declares an attack and is responded to with a trap card, unless its a trap like mirror force that activates in response to an attack, it interrupts the attack and will require the player to declare another attack with the same monster. Does this mean that if your opponent activates Mask of Weakness when you declare an attack which has the effect: "Target 1 attacking monster; that target loses 700 ATK until the end of this turn" and targets your attack monster, can you choose not to attack with the monster?

Also, does this "interrupt attack" rule (if it exists) apply to quick play traps/spells differently? Rush recklessly for instance increases the attack damage of a monster by 700, could you play that in response to an opponents attack declaration and have the monster die to your monster, or can the opponent choose not to attack?
