I haven't read this whole thread yet but I just wanted to throw in that I usually just take it as a compliment when the other player resigns. I didn't just win, I proved to the other player that he couldn't stop me. To me that's an extra victory. I don't specifically shoot for resignations--I wouldn't try setting up a relentless attack if I don't think it's also the most effective way to win, for instance--but I'm never offended by them.
If you feel like your opponent's complaints after that point are rude remember that it's possible you just caused him to feel a bit of despair. That's not pleasant even when the stakes are as low as they are in a friendly game. It takes practice to learn how to lose gracefully and learn from it and games like this are a good instrument for that growth of character.
