Comment Civility according to Dr. Lector (Score 1) 992
I'm sorry but I've had a dozen or so encounters with cell phone users and, other impolite people, who have crossed the lines of decorum in public places. I consider myself a polite person that won't allow myself to be bullied so these conflicts are sure to continue. This led me to my conclusion to build my own ECM.
As of yet, I have not used ECM but will not hesitate to defend myself after fair, polite, warning has been given and ignored and the authorities have refused to help. Physical encounters are too risky and I'd rather not go to prison over some stupid selfish idiot rather simply and covertly end their conversation using nonviolent means.
It still galls me that this doesn't address the real problem of correcting the person's rudeness and instilling some measure of civility.
I'm beginning to understand Dr. Lector's reasoning. Eat rude person "yes" "no".
