Have manners died on the internet, on sites like this?

I don’t know where the originators were from but like lots of American 🇺🇸 sites there are so many people who omit to introduce themselves when they make initial contact and for someone brought up with manners I find it a little off-putting, I don’t know why!

Giving your name will not betray any sense of anonymity it that is what you seek here, but it helps good people to determine who they are or what they are speaking to. Common decency is a great tool to break barriers and appear civilised in the community here.

Wise words. Many Americans won't like this comment, I don't care, but I'm from the neighbouring country and I actually see why sometimes in their culture why I would never trust anyone. I see it spilling over into my country, in culture and politic, and if I try to be different from the status quo culture I'm called out for being naive.

The way to find culture and understanding together is not through distrust and carrying on the mistrust bred in this culture. They say you learn more from being open and vulnerable, but even when I look south, I can't imagine being. 😥
