I agree. While I think it's good that he's trying to take more responsibility for his abrasiveness, and would have been good even decades ago, I think society is shifting (for the better) in a direction where it's much less acceptable to be abrasive. As an abrasive person myself, who's easily frustrated, but has a thick skin when it comes to other people being abrasive with me, I don't personally care if the world gets more polite or sensitive. But I also recognize that not everyone is as comfortable with roughness as I am, and the world will be a better place if everyone learns to be respectful and sensitive to the needs of others.
