Normal people are polite and respectful out of common human
decency. Does this sometimes mean not uttering everything that
passes through your head? Of course. But the motivation comes
from wanting to work well with others and even from caring
about other people. Not fear of being told off.
Does this not work for you?
Chiming in unasked and unwanted from the side here: I personally
believe it's better to actually say the things you think straight
up instead of trying to sugarcoat things so people are less
offended. I've been reading this forum for a while now, and
there's often people arguing and accusing each other, even about
trivial things, but from what I've seen these types of
discussions have brought up and subsequently improved on real
problems not too rarely.
Plus, anyone getting offended by people ranting on the internet
is doing something wrong imho.
