I don't think we are in direct disagreement here Jinn. I think we just draw our lines differently. I think that raising your voice and speaking disrespectfully are examples of bad manners, not impoliteness.
I think, for me, it comes down to manners being a matter of respect and politeness being a matter of censorship. I'm not saying I unjustifiably yell at people or belittle them, I'm saying I speak my mind on all things. Though, on the manners side of things, I also listen to what's coming out of others' minds.
