Politeness is overrated thats why the military never use it.

So you're telling me that the military tradition is nothing but a
bunch of rude brutes who don't even know how to do a salute?  Please,
check your basic ROTC/military manual first before proceeding, or
you're doing a REAL disservice to all our brethren in uniform.

and how does the old parable say..
give the man fish, and he will die.. teach the man how to fish..

This is NOT the right place for this aphorism.  Yeah, it holds, but
even that doesn't mean you can't be a POLITE teacher to your students
(or else you will have Columbines in every schoolyard, or worse,
something like San Andreas :P.)  Anyway, the act of giving someone
fish is not by itself enough reason for a man to die (in fact, that
aphorism says "he will live a day".)

If you cannot grant your peers some basic decency, then they won't
grant yours.  Please, play nice :-)

Cheers,

Zakame
