You do come off as offensive sometimes. It happens.
You're not alone though. One of my professors pulled me aside a week or two ago. Tried to counsel me on my habit of not taking shit from people and blasting them into oblivion for it. A bunch of people were acting really childlishy to me in my ethics class and he was like, look, you've already made them stoop to childishness, you've already won, you don't need to respond to them any more.
Getting a professor to pull you aside like that DOES suck. It hurts, it feels like you failed one of the only people that actually matter (especially if you respect them!)
So I feel your pain. In the end it's for the better though, probably.
