On that note, the bartender who was banned from my music venue recently because her abusive ex boyfriend asked management to fire and ban her? Well, her mother, who also goes to this music venue, reached out to me on Facebook messenger to share details about the abuse and what had happened at the venue with this ex boyfriend. I believe her mother wanted people to boycott the venue as a result of management firing and banning her daughter, the bartender.

I wrote a very heartfelt and lengthy reply to her mom, explaining how I may still want to go to the venue to support the bands, but that doesn't mean I don't support she and her daughter. Well, the mom never replied to my response, although she did read it. I then reached out to. her daughter on Facebook messenger, offering my heartfelt support. She, too, did not reply to me.

Now, as a result of their rudeness, I feel slighted. And to me, this is rude not to reply. It does not show common courtesy. And this is an issue I have within larger humanity. Many people lack proper manners, common courtesy and social graces. If they were both angry that I am not boycotting the venue, they could have at least sent a message in return saying thank you for your message. But I got crickets. And this, in part, is what I am talking about. That's rude, in my opinion, and it leaves me wondering what the heck I said that was so wrong.
