On Public Figures and Private Lives
Devil’s advocate part deux
I think everyone here is adult enough to have their opinion expressed logically and without malice, but there seems to be an underlying current of hostility here on this last thread, something I didn’t expect to see on this topic. I’m not sure what the hostility is all about, the topic is not that controversial, as far as I can see. But I think it boils down to, is that some people think there should not be a ‘rule’ about courtesy to total strangers, and some people think there should be. I guess it’s all a matter of how you were raised. Some people raised in a privileged environment, don’t beleive in courtesy to others they feel are ‘beneath’ them. Others have been taught that courtesy is good breeding, I guess it’s all a matter of perspective.
