I repeat what my school teacher used to drill into us every morning - "manners don't cost a penny, but they're worth a fortune". Trite, but oh so true. I loathe bad manners. What really irks me is the perception that ill manners apply to only the young - back in the day when I got the bus to school, I gave up my seat for an elderly woman. She turned to me, scowled and said "that's a cheek, I don't need no fucking whippersnapper thinking I'm a cripple!" I just sat down in silence as her and her friend proceeded to gripe about the youth of today. "I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman." |

People who are assholes in the rest of their life will be assholes on the Scene! There's no magic transformation that occurs when you pick up a flogger. |

I have been living abroad for many yeas now, but have been returning to UK, particularly to London, two or three times a year for the last twenty. I find that in the last ten years or so, good manners have noticably improved. No doubt, in my case, this is because I am getting very ancient now, but the manner to which some people have gone out of their way to assist me, has been well beyond the level that one could reasonbly expect. I have not found this to be so when abroad. The truth will out |

Being polite was one of the reasons my Master noticed me and wanted to get to know me more. Nuff Said |

I strongly believe in politeness to all, even those who least deserve it. I think gentleness, serenity, are vital qualities for Doms and subs. BeLuS |
