I hope it does please her. She has been trying to reform me for AGES (not really).

I have to step out now and go sell Girl Scout cookies. I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you if you wrote back.

You are both right. While I don't worry too much about it (who can around here?) it makes me feel warm and fuzzy when people I like are nice to each other. I believe that Being Polite is one of the 10 Commandments - or should be. I think it is a test of character. Because sometimes it is hard and people think you are wimpy when you do it. Confusing rudeness and insults with expressing disagreement is something I have never understood. BUT- I write to upset you with a topic. I heard about this on a talkshow yesterday, and wondered if you all had mentioned it here. It takes freedom of speech to a new level, I think...because of the age of the usual target audience for videogames and the reality of the targets of the games themselves. It's like a weird hate crime to me. guardian.co.uk
