I agree that courtesy is a good thing, but I don't agree with you that it's "not that hard a thing to ask for" - if you were faced with a neo-Nazi wanting to kill you, or a Crusader wanting to convert you at swordpoint, I'm sure you'd have difficulty remaining polite.
And in some arguments, anger and vituperation can be tools to be used to help advance your cause at strategic times.
