[Steppes] Gate Issues (was Discouraging / Encouraging)

[Michelle Dodd]

Speaking for myself, unless I know the person or they are in garb with their little doodads or brass hats on, I wouldn't know a "noble, peer or officer" from a hole in the ground. So I go by the rule that we are all milords & ladies. and try to show the respect I would wish to receive.

We shouldn't need a class in being polite and courteous.  However, it wouldn't hurt to teach a class in interpersonal dynamics and how to diffuse a potential "situation", which is what appears to be needed.  Many of us may not know or may have forgotten some of the techniques used in the business world to diffuse difficult situations.  > > Also, there are proper channels in which to make a legitimate complaint against an officer, noble, or peer, and it wouldn't hurt to have a reminder of what those are.> > Saqra> > -----Original Message-----> From: Sir Morgan Buchanan <morganbuchanan at hotmail.com>> To: Steppes List <steppes at lists.ansteorra.org>> Sent: Tue, 26 Jun 2007 1:10 pm> Subject: Re: [Steppes] Gate Issues (was Discouraging / Encouraging)> > > > As Baroness Alys pointed out, gate is an opportunity for bad communication > o occur on both sides of the coin.
