Thoughts on Rudeness

I think he would be wise to start over and find a shorter example.

Gragnog, I'm glad you skipped it.  But if you did, why comment at all?  Having admitted to not reading it, what possible relevant response could you have supplied?

Others, I notice that few to no responses were relevant to the topic.  As Rikoo often closes topic that get off base, do try to stick to the subject at hand.

As for the "sexism" etc...comments.  I didn't right the song.  I didn't put in the various characters or tell the story, I only commented on the portrayal as an example of rude behavior.  Please focus on that question and we can have a good discussion on what it means to be rude and how to avoid both being rude and gracious when you perceive rudeness.

Finally, the whole purpose of this thread is to engage in a civil discussion that might decrease friction among players by coming to a fuller understanding of what it means to be rude and what it means to be gracious in the face of rudeness.  I'm sorry I didn't pick a better example, but, seriously, it seems that just about anything except short and rather unimaginative posts seems to get people off on tangents.  So, "focus people" and address the subject of the post if you can.

Do try again, if you will.  Thanks.

gee whiz AJ....totally sexist..and its 2015....why not female instructor?..why not two female parents or two male....wow just rude and how does this have anything to do with a fanasty online strategy game?

The whole concept seems a bit sexist to me.  It's pretty rude for both the young man and the father to think this exchange is in any way relevant.

ajqtrz... I honestly didn't make it past the youtube link..tooo long to read. Are you proposing to someone?
