Civility?

[crawdiddy]

Yesterday I saw a billboard at the train station here in Copenhagen that said (in Dansih):

"Show consideration for others - it's infectious"

I really liked that - and I suppose being rude to others is also infectious - so let's all try to make an effort to push things in the right direction, and then those few rude people out there will really feel out of place at RFF, and hopefully move their internet experience elsewhere.

When I started the 1st grade (I know, it was a long time ago), every room in school had a sticker on the bulletin board reading "Courtesy is contagious". I could read well enough to know what "contagious" meant, but my phonetic interpretation of "courtesy" turned it into "cower - tessy", and I didn't know what THAT was. But I assumed that whatever it was must be pretty bad. Contagious and all. Maybe worse than Polio.

Thanks, Dan, I needed that!
