I agree.
- “If you don’t quite mind me asking, would you by any chance like to get naked with me at any convenient time of yours.” 
Is much better than - “FAF?”  |

"Personally, I try to always be polite and well mannered. I think it’s beholden on us all, especially in an increasingly fractured society. Agree? Disagree?"
It's the very foundation of a civilised society, once that goes everything else crumbles. |

"What do you see as manners? Saying please and thank you? I sometimes forget or I've got something on my mind. It doesn't make me rude  "
It's so ingrained in me, I don't think it would be possible for me to not say please or thank you!!

It’s just about respect. It’s not just please and thank you |

I believe in reflecting back what's aimed at me , if you come at me nice and politely your get a nice polite guy back. If you choose to come at me spitting fire and vinegar your get a guy spitting fire and vinegar back at you . |

I think manners are important. However, I also think they can be used to inappropriately chastise others (see: I said please in my message on Fab, she didn't reply, I'm gonna cry about how rude people are) and try to impose one kind of cultural norm over another.
Manners as courtesy, thinking about how to be better to others around you? Great.
Manners as "you must do what I want, see, I followed the formula! Your formula and your needs don't count!", particularly with a side of "I'm a superior human being because I know what the word please means"... That's welcome to fornicate off from whence it came. |

Manners are important, and you certainly notice them when absent, but don't appreciate people who get too Hyacinth Bouquet over them!
(For the younger residents (ok, Steve) that's a 90s' cultural reference...) |

That’s so spot on. It’s a bit like when people start with ‘I’m not being funny’ then proceed to insult you! |

No offence intended... (Insert something hideously insulting here).
The manners formula isn't a get out of rudeness jail card... |

Manners cost nothing, and I still hold the doors open, when anyone says thank you, I always say you’re welcome |
