It appears to me that you're all discriminating between behaviors that offend you and behaviors that don't. I don't think that there's a difference between having good manners and being polite; the difference exists because you see some manners (e.g. elbows on the table) as silly, archaic rules, and other manners (e.g. talking loudly) as indicating civility and respect. This is all about which manners you think are important. Or, to put it more impersonally, which manners should be followed and which should not.
