To think a lot of “good people” are just cowards with nice manners?

[WaryPinkCat]

Being kind is easy when there’s no cost. Being principled when it’s inconvenient? That’s rare.

And again..!

Okay

True OP, very true. Why? Because everybody weighs up the pros and cons of a principled stand - and if the personal cost is too high, they choose not to take it. Human nature, innit.

That must apply to me...

My pet hate is people who don’t have the courage of their convictions.

The kind of person who follows you out of a difficult meeting and say “you were absolutely right” but failed to provide their support at the time.

My pet hate is cryptic first posts.

Society needs the social rules or it all falls apart.

It's either that or we start eating ticks off each other like the rest of the primates do.

Could you explain your issue with people having manners and being polite?

So which one are you?
