"What you (or anyone else) don't want" isn't the same as "what shouldn't be said in a public environment". Sure, people can be annoying in many ways, but that doesn't make them wrong, whereas sometimes they can be wrong even when they make a right point, because they made it in a rude manner. For example, I was right to call Nite-shade on writing in caps, but wrong to do that in caps and agressively like I did the first time. Conversely, saying "your mother is a female canine of poor breeding" instead of "you son of a bitch" is still wrong, but not at all rude (that is argueable, though).
