What's the use of spending 4 or 8 or 12 years in Berkeley or Cambridge learning elaborate codes if you can't punish people for failing them?

@St_Rev My impression is that NeoVics' codes are never explicit. They only ever express it by complaining about offenses. -
@St_Rev I could be wrong, though. At least Victorians had defined protocols. -
@MetumHabeo Right, that's part of what I'm getting at. Nebulous and constantly changing codes hand a weapon to those with time to keep up. -
@MetumHabeo It's sort of like fashion that way. -
@St_Rev meme fashions I notice because I'm too socially retarded to keep up, so I have to consciously emulate. -
@MetumHabeo You and me, brother/sister/noneoftheabove -
@St_Rev I also think that the set of allowed behaviors, defined through complaints about objectionable behaviors, is empty. - 1 more reply
