In trying to explain a dispute, the
difficulty of telling a detailed
story coherently, and of getting                            WRONG_CONSENSUS
anyone to listen to the explanation
can make it very hard to make the
issue seem like anything more than
trivial whining.

There's an information assymetry there
that often gets exploited-- consciously
or not.                                    COMMONS_OWNED

Push someone's buttons repeatedly for
months, flying below the radar of
anyone else's attention, and you may
get your target to flare up into an
obvious violation of etiquette.

And increasingly, people insist on
etiquette having the force of law.
