I'm with Benji. 

I would have thought that as the game is meant to be built on mutual respect 
between players, rule 1.4, that had you fouled someone (unintentionally, as 
intentional fouling is a breach of rule 1.6.2) then the player committing the 
foul would either suggest they had caused a foul if it affected the play or in 
not, apologise. But maybe that is just me.
