A lot of people above are writing that people are too sensitive about what they define as BM, so on and so forth, but if you literally see BM as being bad manners, then not saying "hfgl" could easily be construed as bad mannered, just as not shaking hands with your opponent in a football match, etc., most certainly is. Whether or not it is arrogant or offensive in Starcraft 2 is another matter given that it is over the internet and as such a lot less personal.

By that same token I can refute everything you just said by having a different definition of bm. This is exactly why people don't agree on things like no gg or no glhf as being bm or not.

90% of my games I don't gl hf because it's simply not true, I don't want them to be lucky or have fun. I'm playing the game for me and solely for me. If I win, or lose but still think it's a good game, I will gg (note: I don't mean offensive gg I mean in response to theirs). But I'm not going to throw out a meaningless pleasantry just because it might be seen as rude if I don't.
