Sigh... Although you and I have our "Disagreements", I was tempted to post in this. I have been called a gentleman, although I would think I am rather the opposite. Sure... I hold doors open, offer chairs, offer my hoodie, carry things, even putting the toilet seat down... And sure, I do this regardless of the circumstances, but I really don't think that constitutes being a gentleman. I've read a book on how to be one and I'm sure I, nor 99.9% of the BBS for that matter, would fit into the description of one. It was called "How to be a Gentleman" by John Bridges. Its really a convoluted process to be one and I would rather not be one. I just have a firm belief in Karma and using Bushido as a moral code, as well as the fact that I am naturally a "Giver". Trust me, its better to not be a gentleman, gentlemen.
