(Warning: Tangential rant.)

Yes, we should all be nice to everyone. Except to people who are not nice. Those are the outgroup. We, the nice people, are nice, because we are not those not-nice people. You should avoid those not-nice people. Do not associate with them. Shun them. Exclude them from your life. Block them. Refuse them service. Take all possible actions to make sure not-nice people are excluded and removed. Make sure all the nice people knows who the not-nice people are, so that all the nice people can avoid the not-nice people. Learn the signs of not-nice people. The subtle flags and secret signals, the words they use. Learn to never use those words, lest someone mistake you for a not-nice person. Call out loudly every time you see or hear someone use those words, for they must surely be a not-nice person! The not-nice people are always trying to sneak their way into your life, so you must be on constant lookout for all suspicious flags and signals. Call out loudly every time you discover a not-nice person, so that every nice person can be alerted, and take proper action.

Remember, we must all do our part in being nice!
