Robert Heinlein wrote in one of his books that a measure of the
decline of a society was the degradation of its people's manners.  I
honestly believe that there would be a lot less polarization on any
issue, hockey or real life (wait...hockey is real life), if we would
just address each other in a courteous manner; I think being polite
slows us down and allows us to listen better to other people.  So, be
nice, and it's *Mr.* Rapoff to you.
