In some instances this is obvious but people still reiterate them.  I've walked into restaurants and seen signs that say be mindful at others.  There's a big push on the west coast where restaurants are posting signs telling parents to mind their children.I can see if someone only told you this rule, yeah I'd feel insulted then.  But if he's presenting this to everyone (hey I know we're all adults, but please don't do abc).  At the gaming table its a bit more regid and this is because these are people whom are not close friends. Again, I'm glad you have never met people whom need these rules, but I"ve met more than my share whom do, and obviously so has the OP and others.  If you've only gamed with close friends, I honestly don't see how anyone can contribute to this opinion because they can not fully understand the situation.  Whereas we are thinking about people we don't know, strangers ect.  you guys are reading the post and thinking about long time friends, gfs, and family.I'm sorry, meeting with somone for an hour can not determine if they are socially functionable.  You've just got lucky.</blockquote>
