Etiquette is a way of life, a way of treating others as you would have them treat you, thoughtfully and with respect. Too many people today dismiss etiquette as a somewhat complicated and archaic set of rules for polite behaviour in high society and among official or noble circles. It is a mistake on their part to think etiquette outmoded by our millennium's fast, freer mode of living. That is a weakness, not a strength for those who do disregard good manners and decorum. Courtesies and considerations help form the basis of every sector of our general colonial pattern of living, in our living quarters, in commerce, and socially. In the current stardate that we live in, etiquette is perhaps less formal and complicated than in the days of the Lords of Kobol, but just as necessary. For all my Siresses and Sires in training, etiquette and decorum is a must and your good breeding should be obvious to all, even in the face of hardship, Cylons and the annihilation of one's home colony! Let us begin with learning that a true Siress or Sire is never arrogant in their behaviour, (at this moment, Siress Tinia and Sire Donra come to mind as being not perhaps the best example for you to follow in this matter), so be aware of your grace and charm that is inside each of you, and use them to the their full effect at all times! Next I shall discuss Conduct, Presentation and Deportment. Join me !

I concur. Proper etiquette and good conduct are the first and most crucial steps to respecting oneself and others. They show strength of character.

Very good Monolith! You are correct. I think you make an already fine Sire Charming! Nice to have you join in on classes.

Aren't all Siresses and Sires also models how to behave for all the other citizens of the colonial fleet, for everybody? Therefore, it is necessary not only to show your good conduct and manners but also to the good education of your heart, as well as being social rather than arrogant just because of the state of being a Siress/Sire.
And the rules of etiquette are always showing us our way, like the stars!

And the rules of etiquette are always showing us our way, like the stars! Indeed, dear one, I agree with our Empress, our station is not one to be used for one's own selfish gain or power, but yes, to lead by example and hold true to our good principles, so all may learn and be inspired to be the very best version of themselves at all times and circumstances. I can see your heart knows great wisdom. What a stella group I have here! Being social and correct with our etiquette in large circles is one thing, but we must also be as pelasant and loving with our family, our closest friends and our young to help them be inspired by the way of a Siress or Sire too, if they themselves do not feel that inner beauty that we are blessed to know in ourselves. It is a duty of our own in a sense. I love hearing your thoughts everyone!!
