Welcome to extremely polite politics! Where you can say what you want but just in extremely polite language to a ridiculous degree.

Rules: Polite Language Only: All posts and comments must be written in extremely polite, formal language, akin to 1800s etiquette.

No Modern Slang or Cuss Words: Any use of modern slang, cuss words, or informal language results in a warning or temporary ban.

Respectful Insults: You can insult or criticize, but it must be done in the most respectful and formal way possible.

Enforcement: A point system is used for rule violations, by accumulating a total of 3 infractions resulting in a temporary ban (e.g., three strikes and you're out for a week).

Examples:

Proper Critique: "My dear sir, it appears your argument lacks the necessary foundation in empirical evidence, and I must respectfully disagree with your conclusion."Polite Insult: "Madam, with all due respect, your assertion is as misguided as it is ill-informed."

Polite Insult: "Madam, with all due respect, your assertion is as misguided as it is ill-informed."

Dear compatriots, I beg your indulgence as I broach a subject that has long piqued my curiosity. It appears that certain individuals, professing to uphold the noble virtues of tolerance and compassion, exhibit a propensity for vitriolic diatribes and personal animosity towards those holding divergent views. This paradox has left me bewildered, dear friends.

While conservatives are certainly not immune to criticism, it strikes me as singularly peculiar that liberal luminaries and politicians frequently resort to invective and even advocacy of violence against those who dare challenge their convictions. One cannot help but ponder the underlying motivations behind this phenomenon.
