[quote]Assalam-u-allaikum!
You should be the first in presenting a good example of a courteous Muslim and even if the other Muslim doesn't respect you, you as a Muslim should not only respect that Muslim but also use kind , courteous and friendly words if you can.    
Lion is a symbol of courage and courage is not forbidden. Muslims should be the most humble slaves of ALLAH but should have the courage to speak out what they think is the truth today  . 
Where do the lions end up ?
What dangerous things am I willing to do ? Why do you think I am arrogant or proud? Arrogance is strictly forbidden in Islam. 
1.  All kinds of arrogance, even the slightest arrogance is strictly forbidden in Islam.
2. I am willing to discuss with any one, even children or non-Muslims, but when discussion starts using disrespectful words, others are also hurt and this kind of discussion is not good for those observers . I have heard some Muslims say that discussion is useless. I say it is useless for those who don't want to change their conclusions any further. Discussion is only useful when the parties honestly reflect on the messages sent by others and respect each other being polite and courteous.
3. I only presented what I think is right . Honestly read my message and if you are convinced follow it otherwise find some other convincing evidences in favour of your opinion and  follow it .

There is nothing wrong with having  a point of view but it becomes dangerous when you make that point of view solid and unmodifyable even in the light of evidence and arguments. Present all evidence and arguments in favour of your point of view, read evidence and arguments presented by the ones having a different point of view and if convinced, change your point of view a bit, partially or totally , or nothing at all if you are not convinced.

Research is advisable for all scholars . It is not difficult if you are willing to give some time to it also....like your other activities. You can try to learn Qur'anic Arabic, you can collect all the Ayaat of the Qur'an on a particular topic and try to find important conclusions. You can analyze Hadith , you can compare the findings of different scholars and try to find the strongest opinion supported by Qur'an , Hadith, Sunnan , logic etc...
