| I wouldn't think so. I believe you can have very good manners and still
be inconsiderate. I take manners to be the way you interact socially,
but consideration is your awareness of others. I like to think I have
good manners when I'm aware of others, but I'm sadly inconsiderate in
that I often forget to be aware. The confusion probably arrises because
many people pretend to be unaware when they are purposely bad-mannered.

| I should think that one could also have impeccable manners and yet be
quite inconsiderate. In fact, that might not be a bad definition of
'diplomacy.'

| I've heard that a "gentleman" never offends anybody accidentally.

| It may also be possible to have bad manners and yet be considerate.
This would certainly be the case if bad manners entail merely a failure
to say 'please' and 'thank you.' If bad manners entail downright
rudeness, then I am not sure whether one could be both bad mannered and
considerate.

Odd, I've heard the same thing said of the Hell's Angels.
