Hmmmm, I'm pretty sure that's not what I said. If you work anywhere else, it's polite to address a man with whom you're not completely familiar as "sir". What is so wrong with applying this same "polite-ness" to young people on the court?

Regardless of how you say it, they're not just uniforms, so why treat them that way? It just seems silly to me to be so strict as to prevent the most basic courtesy.

If a person isn't comfortable with that, then I suppose that's fine. But if I am comfortable with it, I find it odd that somebody would try to talk me out of it. As usual, just my opinion.

I still don't know who is being impolite, or telling you, or anyone else, not to be polite. Color me gone.
