[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 1588"] To the extent (if there even is one) that anybody cares, I do not come here with the expectation of sitting up straight, facing forward, keeping both feet flat on the floor, raising my hand when I have something to say, waiting for permission before speaking, or tailoring it to Mrs. Grundy's notion of what relevance is. (This can be extended to include "nice" as well). It is the mission of the Mrs. Grundys of the world to impose this regimen (essentially, a female one) on the world. Once established, it is only a short step from there to the Grammar Police and the rest of it. I endured it once (under compulsion) but did not internalise it. Consequently, I have no intention of imposing it on others, or of suffering them to impose it on me. Girls' rules do not sit well with boys. Nor does the impulse to manipulate others by invoking them. Which, IMHO, underlies most such attempts. Yak's 2c worth (plain). :face: [/QUOTE]
