i can see how "manners" are annoying, often times people pay to much attention and attach meaning thats not really there to how someone says something, instead of what they say. even through how someone says somthing does often convey a meaning, it might not be the meaning interpreted. i think being blunt is a good thing. but sometimes it might be better to rearrange words, use alternative words and such becuse of possible misinterpretation. i can see how blunt talking or point-counterpoint might scare away fresh blood. fresh blood would be a intresting thing around here. perhaps we should get them hooked on the small joint before we send them on their first big trip
. i don't care though do as you like,( i don't think its really rude, rude is just a behavior thats normally considered offensive by a large portion of sociaty or part of sociaty, if you ask me its also normally trivial or not of great importance, although sometimes not pleasent, especially peoples reactions.)
