If you are saying that your upbringing has altered your cultural awareness so that you don't know how to act in polite society.....well, yeah, I'd buy that based on your posts in od.

But having had numerous contacts over the years with you away from od I know that you do know how to treat people when you make an effort.

If you really meant to say you'd try to be more polite, well, that is great.
