A Word About Politeness...

[The_Traveler]

Everyone one in this thread including myself are guilty of being a dick to many people. That tells me that either this places attracts more dicks than a drunk girl at a frat party or being a dick occasionally is normal and shouldn't be made into a huge deal.

Confessing guilt is not so sympathetic when you excuse yourself as part of a crowd.
'Yah, we all did it.'

Why not just say that you won't be a dick anymore?

I wasn't trying to get sympathy, just stating a fact of human nature.

I can't say I won't ever be a dick again. I can say I won't intentionally be a dick to new people.

Folks...

Let's take a step back and evaluate here.

Now we have a thread warning people to be polite to others, and in that VERY THREAD... people are starting to not be so polite.

You ask us to name names... and do it publicly... and I'll be honest I'm DAMNED tempted to do just that, because the level of irony (?) here is just too much to bear.

My suggestion is everyone just walk away from this and just assume that anyone here on TPF should take a few extra moments with each post to ask themselves are they TRULY behaving in a manner that would be considered becoming at a local gathering over tea. If it turns out that you are one of "the ones", you should either be VERY CLEAR on that point, or you will be so soon... so relax.

Go shoot some pictures.

Some people just won't take good advice.

Thread closed before I need to deal with anyone else.
