“Hey I have a severe allergy and might die, could you refrain from eating peanuts for an hour or two, please?”

“F$*$ you!”

Yes, this is FReeper civility.

Well Dave, if someone were to ask me personally and politely, not to open that bag of peanuts, I'd be happy to leave it closed.

On the other hand, if they want to sicc the FedGov on me, yes, f--- them. Repeatedly, and with various implements.

You asked politely and said please. That brings out more civility than being ordered to do something.
