I think I'm pretty polite on the whole. I give people a fair shake. Only once they've shown themselves to be beyond reason do I resort to a bit of satirical ribbing.

I've occasionally said things I've regretted of course.

Respect is earned, not given. I'll respect anyone who respects me in return but the moment they are disrespectful, all bets are off. 

Class has nothing to do with it and clearly you have none of that.

I'm possibly the politest, most respectful, and inoffensive person you'll ever meet, as you can see from my post history here.

As an aside, I also don't drink, have never sworn in my entire life, and am not crude or rude in any way.

And I always dress conservatively and would never ever think of posing for inappropriate pictures.

And I am totally and completely honest.

I can control myself perfectly fine in religious discussions. I have no reason to use any profanities. In fact I usually find it boring (nobody's changing their minds) so I avoid it.

When it comes to politics, I definitely lose my cool a lot. But not to the level of some of y'all. Fr you guys get too mad at randoms on the internet.

I would like to gently suggest that if one were to read my books, one would see where Miss Manners learned her manners.

Is that one of the books with titles like "A young Lady's guide to grace" and "How to attract a husband"?

Are you hoping to say this on the stand someday? It *might* work.

No.

My policy is to leave no witnesses.
