I am the parliamentarian at one guild and when people are being rude, I "rise to a point of order" to remind them that someone else has the floor. I can guarantee that you need to be blunt and no nonsense or they will spoil every meeting.
When you see how rude they are, you absolutely know why their children act the way they do at school. froggyintexas
