And what you generally see, INCLUDING in the case which generated this
thread, is a great deal of tolerance from the community for such things,
followed by polite requests to "please follow the local custom."  What
you saw in this thread, after that polite request, was the violent
reaction to responses that essentially amounted to "screw the
convention, I wanna do it my way."
