She's A Lady

The exceedingly genteel Lisa (AKA abbysnana), the gal who puts the “miss” in Miss Manners, recently called for more civilized behavior on the part of others:


Lisa helpfully demonstrates how to conduct oneself as a, “real lady” and “decent human being” on local blogs and forums:


Good day, indeed.


The modesty and humility demonstrated here by Lisa concerning her most worthy contributions to Goliath's forum is simply stunning.  Very admirable.  And notice how she very tastefully switches to lower case lettering when she feels that she must, unfortunately, use a bit of bad language when daring someone to "bring it?"  Not perfect, of course, but who is, really? At least she isn't lowering herself to the gutter by making fun of someone's manhood, right? 


Well, I suppose that technically she isn't actually calling Goliath's manhood into question here, as females can be called "ass kisser" as well as males.  And it can be plainly seen that she chose to keep strictly to the high road by choosing NOT to use a picture that portrayed any type of nudity.  Very gracious, considerate and exquisitely classy, don't you think?


And compassionate wishes for the end of someone's pain and suffering - always most kind and gentle and welcome in polite society.  

Lisa also demonstrates the art of courteous correspondence:

Just in case it gets deleted I want to make sure you read it.

Yes, the almighty Cindi speaks her caca again, presuming to be the ultimate authority on how everyone should behave. I am sure I can safely speak for others when I say, stick a sock puppet in it Cindi. You have no idea who you are really talking to and are once again basing your ridiculous conclusions on someone's words that you have taken and twisted to satisfy your sick and misplaced judgments. I think that you did everyone a favor by never having another child and I wonder just how fast your only child fled to get away from you when they became of age. You are cruel and mean spirited and not a day goes by on these forums that you do not run roughshod over someone if they dare cross your path. 


Note to Goliath and others: I am sorry if this seems harsh but I am sick and tired of this woman trying to demean everyone that disagrees with her. You can delete it if you feel that is necessary, but I had the satisfaction of knowing that she at least read it.

As incomprehensible as the reasoning may seem to some, that post was apparently actually deleted from Goliath's site.  Fortunately for me, Lisa, being the soul of generosity, decided to make that extra effort and take that extra step to email it to me so that I could benefit from it.  Very kind and thoughtful.

And, as a gracious follow up:

You finally have been put in your place, and rightfully so. Fancy up that old Blog, I still bet know one visits and participates in your posts, carry on.

Yes, Lisa is VERY concerned with the issue of respectful, mannerly conduct at all times and takes great pains to gently remind and demonstrate to others how to act like a lady and a decent human being.  We barbarians are quite fortunate, indeed, that this great lady puts so much effort into raising the level of online discourse to her own commendable personal standards of decency and civilized behavior.
