Assuming you have a choice wouldn't you prefer to engage with those who are intelligent, knowledgeable and polite rather than those who aren't? Do you?

different situations

require different types of people.

Depends on the situation, mood and several other factors.That being said, politeness is an absolutely useless trait to me.

Hello Rosie:

Ordinarily, of course, I would.  But, SOME of these people are SO vile, they NEED to be taken down, and I'm just the guy who can do it.  I enjoy that too.

I´d rather stay with those who are loyal.

Rosie, I prefer to engage with those who have a huge dose of common sense first and foremost. If those with common sense happen to be intelligent, knowledgeable, and polite, that's fine. If it so happens that they aren't knowledgeable, intelligent, and polite yet have common sense, that's fine too.

yes, i prefer that too

Yes i would prefer to engage with Intelligent knowledgeable and polite people.. But unfortunately these days not many people are polite...   In this day and age you cannot avoid dealing with nasty trolls if you have opinions of matters and your prepared to stand up for your beliefs..

Liars?  Insulters? Vulgar boors? What situations require that? Thank you for your reply Baba! :)

You're younger thanI ane babe and also a LOT more patient. i know my limitations. That's how I survive! Thank you for your reply excon!  :)

I didn't mention loyalty Uc. But it's something that must have been on your mind. Have you been a victim of disloyalty? If so I know what that feels like. Not good. Thank you for your reply! :)

Me too RC. I depend on logic when I engage in conversation and some folks wouldn't know it if it bit them on the arse! If someone can think clearly then you have the basis for a conversation. Otherwise it's just a complete waste of time. Thank you for your answer and Happy Tuesday to thee!  :)

I know. Thank you for your reply pearl! :)
