I did it myself, to see if it was there- because I began to think maybe I didn't remember it right. But there it was. I don't get it. Perhaps it's a control issue? I can certainly understand that. I have my own. If people want to speak to me, they need to treat me the way I want to be treated, and they can't expect that I'll obey them (especially if they are hostile). Does that seem odd? I don't understand why people get so upset about someone who expects good manners. Maybe society is too repressive? Maybe people just can't stand being civil in the real world, so they act out here? But I kind of like the real world. I wish it's civility existed here. I find the civility of 3d very comfortable. Why is that such a problem for people? I just don't get it. It's not like I can control anyone. I control only my own responses to people. So if they aren't polite, I may not speak to them- and that's so bad? Obviously it really bothers people that they might have to be civil to talk to me. To which I guess I say, "too bad".
