How so?
By actually speaking one's mind?
Is that considered rude?
There is a philosophical debate that passive rudeness is worse than aggressive rudeness (or just as rude). My guess is it is just personal preference
Do not mistake your playing around in the passively rude playground as being any better or less rude than the ''tell it like it is'' playground.
It is all just a matter of perspective/objective.
Nobody is looking to get their ass kissed in here. So if that is one's objective, then I can see where this forum would seem rude. Personally I think it rather rude to come in here thinking we are rude. You are just as rude in doing so and seem not to know it.
See, perspective/objective!

If I wasn't busy with other stuff, you know ... like putting fingers in guys bottoms, playing with them in other ways or researching other stuff or my writing ... then I would probably find this area to be my second home.
I love debate. And I knew that this forum was supposedly, more or less left alone for the most part to allow people the freedom of a spirited back and forth.
So I was rude. Sortof. But I didn't mean to be. Government was my first, of a few, majors and it's always held a fascination for me. But I'm completely out of touch with most of the main issues today, except for snippets here and there.
If a newbie to an area sticks her toe in the water, it shouldn't surprise her to get her toes nibbled on a bit.
As always, though, I sincerely appreciate what YOU have to say, WTF. I really would love to meet you some day! For coffee. Or tea. Smile.
Take care,
