sex offenders are always polite That sounds pretty weird! But I guess it makes sense if you conceptualise sexual abuse as being about power, rather than sexual gratification - perhaps they feel powerless next to you, and they have to be polite or risk annihilation?
(Or, conceivably, some of them are psychopaths and know how to play the "society game".)
[Either of these explanations are pejorative, of course, and it's possible to say that the people you come into contact with are still human, despite the evil things they do. But it's still a weird juxtaposition.]
I know. I've always gone with some kind of sociopathic, personally. It's like they don't see any discrepancy between violent rape, kiddy-fiddling and being a polite, fully-functioning member of society.
