Manners are usaly the last resort of a weak argument.
I was reffering to the Manners such that the show is the substance, the manner is the meat and the judgment falls on the trappings rather than the thoughts. The threads where I have gained the most understanding and insight are the ones that sought not to prance to the tune of the Marquis of Landsbury rules but instead moshed the topic itself. NOthing Productive may be your own, but that does not mean they are shared by others. It is always acceptablel to filter your own words and thoughts but when that action seeks to so change the thoughts and words and manners of others, then we got us some problems, yes sire ree bob. So as long as the free flow goes on and on, its all good.
