Of course it's fine to point out what the cultural norm is in the US, but to go further and start name-calling (i.e. calling people "cheap") is a bit childish and actually detracts from you being taken seriously.
In any event none of this is linked to the purpose of this thread, which is about aggressive tip requests, not generally how you should tip in the US. That said I expect that you rub your hands in glee every time you see a new tipping thread as it's an opportunity for you to tell other people how to behave and generally feel superior.
I'm so sorry that your reading skills are below par. Perhaps adult education is offered in your area.
And yes, people that don't tip appropriately are cheap. That is the correct word.
