* "Coby Beck" <cbeck@mercury.bc.ca>
| It is quite possible (and often much more destructive) to be polite and
| still deliver insults and passive agression or to be polite and
| completely devoid of content or way off topic (or be a polite clueless
| moron).

  We are in violent agreement here.  A requirement to be polite turns bad
  people into _much_ worse people than they were if they were allowed to
  let the steam out naturally.
