Purist or not?
How are you?
I'm good. OR I'm well. OR Both are okay. |

I have heard both spoken by native English speakers.
There is a VARIETY of responses in the natural language.
We should be teaching that. |

1/ What are you talking about?
2/ Don't tell me what to teach.
3/ Your moronic post should be in the Job-related section. |

I looked very carefully, and I could not find any part where the OP told you what to teach. Your accusation of "moronic post" is a bit ironic isn`t it... |

I was referring to Vanislander's post. BTW I don't care about
your criticism of my post. My new policy on this board is to
be curt, acidic, skeptical and terse. I'm sick of the sweet, sickly,
pukey crap here. |

Yeah. Me too.
Purists seem to think that the grammatically correct answer should be "well" since it is an adverb. |

Do you know any natives that actually say "so-so" as 95% of my students do?
Bugs the hell out of me! 
"I'm ok" ... "not bad" ... "fine" |

They do it in Japan, too. It was probably in some 1950's era textbook and got passed down through the generations. |
