Richard, that is very generous of you.

There is an irony in this, really. Someone who felt equally slighted, but complained politely, would certainly not have been rewarded like this. But Kagetori was extremely rude, and he gets the unheard of break.

Can you see how this would seem to encourage discourtesy?

I fully understand the pragmatic reasons why this happens, it just seems bitterly ironic.
