Hey, she's not THAT old!!!

(My god, am I still defending my sister after all these years???)

I believe that the code of courtesy includes NOT broadcasting your complaints or ailments in a victimish tone. I think it is acceptable to broadcast them in a responsible way, as in "When are you assholes going to learn some manners?!!?", but not in the form "Oh, i amm sick and upset because of what you SAID to meeeee!". I really can't explain why except that the former strikes me as pro-life and the latter more pro-death.

Maybe it should be a rule of the commons, the sharedness of this spacetime continuum that you must demonstrate that you are in there pitching for the best. Sorry for waxing....

Regards,
