Haha, it's far less faith than it is years of headaches. Though I do prefer to think that people are good, until they are bad.
Most people will act like jerks because it gives them an ego boost. Being polite in return is usually jarring to them because it's not what they expect, and they don't know how to react. They become self-conscious because you have more self-control than they do, and they leave with wounded pride, less likely to do it again soon or risk humiliation again.Â
Though these are just observations I've made over the years in other games. It'll naturally vary from game to game, server to server, and person to person.
Some people are just damaged goods and delight in that fact, and there's nothing you can do about them.
