Do not apologize for being polite. Good manners never go out of fashion; rudeness, however, always is.
-
@Etrajbe You do realize this was just an introduction and my comment wasn't about that huh?
-
@simobk Funny how you create a false assumption between cursing and politeness, when Stephen Fry thoroughly agrees on using curse words, frequently in fact.
-
@sockington1 We are still forced to pay for a TV license even if we don't own a TV—one of the reasons being viewing online—so why the fuck do we have them on Youtube.
-
Stephen is not trying to make a big deal about "Please and Thank You", what he is stressing is showing kindness, courtesy and consideration towards others. These things maybe old fashioned and out dated but I still adhere to them.

@sockington1 So funny that you use that kind of language in a video about politeness. Do you know what would make us all leave youtube like we left TV? If we had to pay to watch!
So, thank these ads for allowing youtube to provide us with videos for free even though Google is still losing money on it, and for allowing authors to create content and receive a small compensation for it! Quit being a whining baby, and realize nothing is free in this world!

"It's just his way" is an expression Mr. Fry used. I heard that as a child and took it to mean "that person is an ass and will never try to change". If I heard the expression used about someone I knew to avoid him or her. Stephen Fry was almost born an American--see Stephen Fry's In America television porgram. Our loss :( What an amazing man.

Darling Mr Fry, never ever apologise for your politeness...tis what makes you a shining beacon of eccentric Englishness in a world of dumbed down bleakness

How sad that this man feels there is something wrong with him for practicing and appreciating politeness. Obsequiousness is one thing, but common courtesy is a lubricant to human interactions, it makes everything easier for all those involved.
