Old Fashioned Courtesy
When I was very young I asked my Dad why he wore a hat.
"So I may take it off when I meet a lady" was the prompt reply.
My Mum told me if I couldn't say something nice about somone, best to say nothing.
My Mum also taught me to count to 40, if my temper was roused.
I still open doors for others, let ladies go first, and when out for a walk I like to say "Good morning" to fellow walkers, and indeed touch my hat brim to a lady when doing so.
Personally, I have never down-voted any contributor to SL, and never will.
I am saddened by the back-biting that goes on, and hope it might cease.
