Civility is dead & I mourn it's passing.

Excellent way of putting it into perspective. I have often thought on people I like being booed or whatever, and thought, "Don't people have any manners anymore?"

"Don't people have any manners anymore?" No, but they sure can find excuses for being rude. Blame the lack of civility on someone else, or the person/group you disagree with.

I must be a Pre-Cambriancon - I like & long for the days that were depicted by respect & honor being shown to everyone - even those you don't like. Booing only shows how little self-control the booer has - not to mention low self-esteem.

BSunday, the boos and jeers were the best of manners -- it was the cheers awarded the vile that were rude and ill-mannered.
