Why are people offended by insults?

Why are people offended by insults?
Title says it all. A serious question.

And while we as members of these forums perhaps ponder that question, and give our answers -

- I also invite you - all of you, all the members of these forums - to insult me Tongue

I really don't get what all the fuss is about.

There are 2 possibilities when someone insults you the way I see it -

1. You deserve it.

2. You don't deserve it.

If 1., then why the fuck should YOU be offended if YOU deserve it and are right in being insulted?

If 2., then why the fuck be offended if their insult doesn't apply to you?

And if you are unsure if it's 1 or 2, why take it out on the insulter by "taking offense" because of your own uncertainty?

IMPORTANT NOTE: I accept the fact people DO get offended whether I understand it or not, which is why I don't really insult people you may have noticed. But this is still a matter I do not understand and hence personally welcome insults in an attempt to see what all the fuss about (and on a side note: I also find it most amusing - being insulted - too Tongue).
