Exactly what Avri said. We aren't the most socially adept crowd. You only have to watch the proceedings at the cookie table to see that. And, this isn't a new problem, it's just that we don't seem to have made any progress since we had the Miss Manners plenary talk 50+ meetings ago:

Hi,I have taken week long cross cultural sensitivity courses. One thing they seem to rely on is having a degree of sensitivity in at least one culture. Some groups might have difficulty in meeting that initial condition.Or put another way, hard to learn to be polite to other cultures without first learning to be polite in your own.AvriSent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device
