Hmmm. Let me lighten up for a second here--it's possible that you don't realize when you're coming across as offensive. You're right in that the Internet can make it hard to tell sometimes, and makes it easy to be unintentionally rude.

The essence of courtesy to "to accomplish your goals without unintended harm to others." The corollary is that it's quite possible to be rude without meaning to, simply by not understanding how other people are likely to react to your words. I wish you better luck in your future interactions. Accidental rudeness is not something I'm immune to, either.
