Well if you insult someone and you don't put the appropriate smiley in, he's allowed to come round and duff you up. It's like saying "With all due respect...." which let's you slag the other guy off without fear of retribution. "With all due respect, that's a load of bo**ocks" or "With all due respect, your wife is a real slut".

Let's you get away with murder.
