I am not that offended really, but am just pointing out that sometimes those harping on about courtesy can also come across as arrogant and rude in their own ways too. Respect works on many levels.
The only times I really get offended are when people go on a sad click rampage (I'm quite over that now though) or call me names in an aggressive manner. That usually happens when I express a particular opinion about something. It bewilders me actually that people can be so offended by an opinion that they they just start cussing and calling names. I'm not talking about Ghost here at all who has never done that, but just giving my general thoughts about when others become rude and disrespectful. On the whole I try not to call names or insult people, but I do sometimes snap after someone calls me a name and I retaliate, on the whole I try not to though. The only time I have really gone off the deep end was with Yuri Foreman, but thankfully he doesn't post here. Usually I am man enough to apologise if I think I have gone a bit too far and every man should have the courage to do so. Not everyone can though.
