I never want to hear another polish joke ever again.

They are one of the few nations that has their act together.

Proper netiquette requires you tip the ball girls after the tourney.

Harvey Weinstein, late of Westport Connecticut
Missed his lessons on manners and etiquette
People trash him on Twitter
Make me giggle and titter
Their total rejection of netiquette

Rose McGowan got censored on twitter for failing to use Twitter approved netiquette when naming names and taking no prisoners over the sex abuse in Hollywood. Have no idea who she is, but wow. She’s a fighter. Excellent poem. A++++

I love that picture and all the others that were posted of this event.

As far as the WFTD? Members of FreeRepublic often push the limits of netiquette, despite the efforts of the moderators to keep us in line.

There are people sitting on their butt
In front of a computer who are just a nut
Throwing flaming posts
That at most
Are examples of very poor netiquette

That they do. A++ I just love that they protected their border by praying the Rosary. Mind boggling that they are so devoted in this modern day. Love them. I say the Rosary daily, but few do any more.

Petiquette demands that you don't allow your dog to poop on my lawn (but that's a word for another day).

Netiquette insists that you place your forks on the left side of your keyboard (or smartphone), and your spoons and knives on the right side.  (And don't eat your keyboard or smartphone!)

Our beloved FR sometimes devolves
Into the antitheses of etiquette
The mere absence of a sarcasm tag
Can be a breach of netiquette.
And, (G-d Forbid!) a duplicate
Or excerpting your blog
Will bring the mod down from his post
And bare your back, to flog.

But by far a worse offense
For which you won’t be shriven
Is to misspell, or mix your tense
You will not be forgiven!
They lie in wait with baited breath
Lurking, dressed in a woolly fleece,
The Stalking, Sneaking, wolves of death,
The spelling and grammar police!

Racism, hatred, and offense
Will not be tolerated.
And if you continue to be dense,
You will be terminated!
We might even suspend your butt
And if you sneak back in
By trying a new user name...
We see right through your sin!

If you persist in acting out,
In posting, hitting, hiding,
Continuing your naughty posts
In spite of the Mod’s chiding,
It’s then that all the Kitties here
With mead and and meat besotted
Will show up with a Rousing Cheer...

And you Will

be

ZOTTED!
