Well don't get too happy. I am sure a topic will shortly come up where we will have a hard time being so polite to one another.

In the meantime, Au Revoir.
You made several good points about our discourse that are good reminders and perhaps should be rules of understanding such as: "in the heat of battle I forget myself." A little latitude is needed and not quickly attacked. Trust it is not a personal insult. We all do at times. But being somewhat defensive on this comment about being polite to each others, I feel quite certain you will be hard pressed to find me impolite or insulting at anytime.
