There it is.
"When you omit courtesy you're throwing sand in the gears of a machine that doesn't work too well in the first place."
~Heinlein (I'm paraphrasing.)

None of this is news: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etiquette#History
A fool never learns,
A man learns from his mistakes,
A wise man learns from the mistakes of others.
