Decorum

[Guy Fawkes]

[float_right] [/float_right]

I have always been an advocate of "Free Speech" and have always been willing to tolerate much more than the average joe.

 

Currently, we're under heighten scrutiny and I must insist that Decorum be maintained. If you see Miss Manners show up perhaps you'll need to tone it down quickly.

1. dignified propriety of behavior, speech, dress, etc.

I whole-heartedly agree, Daddy. Keep explicit things private, and we, as members, can disagree and still be civil.

As Al Sharpton puts it, "we can disagree without being disagreeable."

from wiktionary:

 

Adjective

decōrus m ‎(feminine decōra, neuter decōrum); first/second declension

1. becoming, fitting, proper, suitable  
   
2. decorated, adorned; elegant, fine, beautiful
   

I assume the first definition is the one applicable here?

Old show biz joke:

 

Q: What's "decorous?"

A: The guys who dance behind Ann-Margaret.

As Heinlein would say: "Formal Dress or Formal Undress." The belly button color this week is mauve.

Ah purple I would imagine mine is purple but I have never seen it

[Michael Wayne]

Amen! As I learned in New Orleans: Be nice to everyone!!!!!

I put my own consulting business (nothing to do with sex work, regrettably ) out of the reach of US authorities eons ago.

 

My AMEX card & passport are the next proximate lines of defense.

 

Just saying.

How exactly is 'out of the reach' achieved? And, how can I isolate my work?

I overstate it of course. Nothing is out of their reach. What I do is deliver some kinds of work through overseas business partners, especially where there may be worries about inadvertently falling afoul of ITAR or Export Administration Regulations. I am the silent subject matter expert, they provide the work product to client. How to construct those relationships and manage the money trail is best done in consult with your local business atty. together with one based over there, wherever that may be.

 

That is to say, I try to shift the liability to a partner who can more easily withstand it.

Not a bad idea speak your mind, but it's even classier when you conduct yourself shall we say " Lady like" in your demeanor how you get your message across.

[Decatur Guy]

We should pretend we're in Victorian England and carry on accordingly. With that, I shall set forth on my daily constitutional.

Why do I always think "Tawana Brawley" when I see Sharpton's name?

That's the pitfall for celebrities/politicians/activists, when they swing and miss, that's what the public remembers.
