I used to think it was courtesy, too, ad, but not with these two.
Attention:
The only reason mrssmith and Chemist_Geek come on these threads is to get a hostile reaction which will get you banned.
Don't give them that satisfaction. Ignore them.
Yep. Should've known better. Won't happen again.
From what I've seen, Chemist_Geek's responses are more along the lines of taking issue with opinions of the "all Muslims are like that" variety. If that causes "hostile reactions," then I submit that the problem is more likely with those who are saying stupid things, than with the people who point those things out.
I am typically far less impressed with the mental prowess of those who provide the hostile reactions, than I am with those who, like CG, elicit them. If that also places me in the "wrong" category in this context, then so be it.

Damned right!
The both of them are frauds----pay them no attention.
