I use my manners for everyone. I will hold a door open for any person behind me. I forget sometimes to let the butches that like to open doors do it. And I appreciate a butch who does the same. If your manners are only for me, they're not worth much.

Let me amend this a bit: I hate it when someone calls me some pet name if I don't know them.

I'm going to believe what you find endearing is manners, because you also say pet names (sugar, honey, sweetheart, etc) from folks you don't know is not acceptable. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Where is there bashing of manners in the 'Old Fashioned' thread? Reminding people that it's the 21st century is not bashing manners. I would love a post number to prove your statement. You could do it in the 'Old Fashioned' thread since we are not supposed to cross post from other threads

Where are manners being bashed in this thread? I'm serious.....please give us the post number so we can see it.

Calling people honey baby sweetie sugar pie is not about manners. It's about overstepping the boundaries of being polite and well-mannered. If you don't believe it then go look it up in Miss Manners or any other of the many books on etiquette.
