[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I am perfectly self-confident. I know I'm intelligent and believe I have interesting things to contribute. I am just tired of being spoken to like an idiot. It sucks the enjoyment out of socializing and conversation. So many people just lecture about things instead of talking about them, and yet I don't know any adults (or children!) who enjoy being lectured at. It really is just rudeness and poor manners. I do think the PP was condescending -- literally ordering me not to say "people in this area" (which I said because that is the specific experience I'm referring to -- I have not experienced this elsewhere), assuming bad motives on my part. Even the "oh my" -- it's a condescending tone. It doesn't hurt my feelings. It's just tedious and kills conversation

I'm not offended, I'm annoyed.[/quote]
OP I grew up here and I think some of what you describe started in the 90s to early 2000s, when the city grew quickly.  But then, Kennedy did describe Washington in 1962 as a city of Southern efficiency and Northern charm... [/quote]
