Now the Lady of the Manners is sure there are swarms of you out there thinking, “Why? If I don’t like someone, surely I’m allowed to snipe at her, make hurtful comments, and generally be cruel. Especially if she says or does things that I disagree with or think are stupid.” You aren’t allowed to do that. Well, it isn’t a case of “allowed” so much as “you shouldn’t.” The idea works something like this: if you can manage to be polite to people you think are blithering idiots, then being polite and charming to people you do like will be even easier. You see, there are people in the “local scene” where the Lady of the Manners lives whom she would rather not talk to. In fact, if they suddenly moved away to an entirely different planet, the Lady of the Manners would probably dance happily about her living room. But when social situations conspire to throw the Lady of the Manners into contact with those people, does she tell them how annoying she finds them? Does she insult their beliefs, clothes, dancing styles?
