You hit the nail on the head.
I've told this story before... but with the tone being what it is now on the site... I'll try again
This happened when I was 19 and reporting aboard my first submarine. I had been on board for only 2 or 3 days and came upon a heated discussion in the crews mess (dinning room) I had just walked up and heard something that I didn't agree with... so I chimmed in... A big burly torpedo man clocked me right in the face and put me on my ass in the middle of the deck! Shaking my head I got up, and an even older and bigger chief escorted me to the side of the mess area. He said... " Seaman Hansen, there's an unwritten rule here on the Nautilus..., You must listen to a conversation for at least 15 minutes before you chime in..." " Now petty officer Jackson there probably agrees with what you said.... , you just didn't follow the rules..."
Now don't think that I would encourage anyone to hit or attack someone here for chiming in a little quickly... it's just a fable as to how to avoid stepping on someone toes....
Too much for anyone?? sorry
