I was mostly making a joke about me using manners.

I'm a very nice guy, often to a fault.
I try to live my life under the premise of
"If I died in two minutes would I go to heaven?"


OTOH, I'm good and damn tired of idiots and will rebuke them in short order.
The sting of a rebuke is the truth in it.

There must be two sides to every coin.
