I love talking politics, but sometimes this ventures into the absurd -- like the time eight people tried to debate me at once.
GENTLE READER: Eight, or perhaps nine, people talking at once is a brawl, not a debate. In such a situation, Miss Manners would be looking for an exit from the room, not just the topic.
The best way to discourage rudeness is to be polite oneself, which means using respect and restraint when disagreeing. And, sometimes, changing the subject.DEAR MISS MANNERS: Before the pandemic, for many years, I had a party in the spring with up to 30 people. Since I was at risk for COVID , there has been no party for the past three years.
What do I tell my regulars who don’t make the cut so that they don’t feel hurt? If any of them ask if I’m having the party, how should I respond? Which, Miss Manners adds, is where your explanation needs to stop. Only if specifically asked about the new party can you look confused and say, “That? Oh, that’s not the same party.” Which it isn’t.DEAR MISS MANNERS: When my friend and I shared a hotel room at an event, we split the cost.
