I don't care.

If his caddie is offended that's between them. I refuse to be offended on behalf of someone else.

I'd rather see personality than robots.

Exactly! It's important to remember these are people and not robots! We've all done something in an emotional moment that we weren't proud of. It's actually refreshing to me to see the pros let out some frustration sometimes. They are human after all. 

I'm sure he's not proud that this is his SportsCenter moment. I've had many moments in life and in golf that I'm not proud of. Let he who has not cursed, banged a club, or screamed in frustration cast the first club.

I don't mind at all. And if his caddie was offended he's a crybaby.

Being offended doesn't make someone a crybaby, it's how they react to being offended. If his caddie felt disrespected and they had a talk after the round and moved on, I wouldn't call that a crybaby, I'd call that a normal working relationship. If the caddie dropped the bag then and there and walked off the course and tweeted how upset he was, I might lean the other way.

Just because the caddie is being paid to help doesn't mean that disrespecting them is an entitlement.

Kind of a busch league move by Dufner but I'm not losing sleep over it or offended in any way.  He was looking at a nice win and a big paycheck so I can understand where his frustration would stem from.  I'm sure he and his caddy discussed it after the round.

That was a Dufner melt down, Dufner is so low key that this is about as extreme as has been seen.  Nothing to see here, I can't believe we are even talking about it.

Good point, Mulligans! If I putted the way Dufner did that last round I might have dropped my putter in a lake!

And let's not forget that caddies are paid for their work. They're not indentured servants. They can quit any time they feel unappreciated!
