SAYSO
Comme ça, they say,
And generally mean
It. Makes sense, so
I don't argue. Life
Has gotten considerably
Easier since abdicating
Emotion in favor
Of manners.

On manners, you are in good company:
"Dissembling courtesy! How fine this tyrant /
Can tickle where she wounds!"
Shakespeare, Cymbeline (Imogen at I, i)
and
"He was the mildest manner'd man /
That ever scuttled ship or cut a throat."
Lord Byron, Don Juan (Canto III, st. 41)
