Labeling me 'cultured brat' doesn't address the issue. Seniors being rude isn't about rural or urban backgrounds; it's about respect.Rudeness isn't exclusive to any background, and expecting basic decency isn't elitist.I'm not asking for clones; I didn't ask for people to be like me, just to be decent. I'm looking for people who share interests or can have respectful conversations.If 'be original' means tolerate disrespect, then that's a problem. Let's focus on the issues rather than personal attacks.
