[QUOTE="Houseman, post: 14695, member: 7"] I wouldn't think so. This is like a discussion in a public park among a group of friends. It might be publicly observable, but observing it is voluntary, so if someone gets offended, that's their fault, and they are free to leave at any time. In contrast, I would think that "polite company" would apply to something like co-workers in an office. One dictionary defines it as "in formal settings" or "with people you do not know well". Yes, I covered this in the OP. This is why I asked if you had read the whole post, or if you just stopped at the bit you quoted. [/QUOTE]
