Public News Post #2240

Something that just bugs me a bit.

This is primary to a group of people who are mannerless.


Rudeness is a lack of etiquette while shouting has become a problem in
which I am addressing in public today. The fact is that people who are
rude while shouting once are usually rude all the time, case in point:

A couple months ago I made a mistake and told someone something I meant
to tell someone else, so rather than make a few extra communications I
shouted out that I was sorry for the misstells. Less than a minute later
one really rude person lets call him �Aren� for arguments sake, decides
to shout out �Shut up!� which is something that you usually say or tell
someone after they have been talking for a while, now I may not be the
smartest of people but one thing shouted doesn�t equal enough stuff to
warrant a �shut up� and then followed by that a few hundred barrages of
equal �shut ups� came telling each other person to shut up.

Which brings me to today�s happenings. I was in the Forest when my ears
heard something strangely familiar, it was a voice shouting out, �Sorry
for the misstells� and amazingly enough it came from someone who we
shall call �Aren�. Now hold on the coincidences don�t stop for about 5
minutes when a barrage of �shut ups� came but not addressed to �Aren� no
no no... They were addressed to me! The one who told him to �shut up� as
I was told for the very same reason, not only that I received death
threats as well.

Now people, it doesn�t take a genius to understand that if someone says
one thing over to the world via there large lounges that it is something
important for them to say. Telling someone to �shut up� for something
that they feel is important is extremely rude, and wrong. What�s even
ruder though is the people following and kissing someone�s �bottom�
because they fear they would be killed if they went against someone is
even more idiotic. Just because someone says �shut up� doesn�t give that
person and half the world just reason to tell someone to do so, if you
don�t want to hear it you don�t have to listen. If you hear it and it
was only said once, there is no reason to say �shut up� unless you are
dense and can�t look past the fact that someone said something to your
ears and now you can�t get that sentence out of your head because you
are a complete moron.

What I�m getting at is this, don�t tell people to shut up if you can�t
take it yourself (Aren).

As a suggestion for the rude people there is a book you can find in most
library�s a book simply labeled �etiquette: lessons to learn� or
something of that nature. I would suggest that the few of you people who
have this disease, what I call �shutupisidus� (a condition in which you
find yourself compelled to tell others to �shut up�), to take a quick
look and learn some manners.

I will not be responding to any letters or posts addressed to or at me
in further posts, for this matter should be closed as soon as the
rudeness stops.

Hoping you get better,
Misty Storm.
