Долг платежём красен, да?

To be honest, I don't see what problem you guys have with VM. The only thing he said in this thread is that (most) Russians will not force you to toast with them if you don't drink nor will they be offended. Why is that a bad thing? Are Russians supposed to beat the crap out of you in a drunken rage if you don't drink?

Etiquette has it that every guest should be made to feel at home - if someone doesn't wish to participate in rediculous performances involving holding your glass up and talking about nothing for half an hour without taking a sip, he/she should not be forced to. Politeness is not when you turn red as a tomato and appologise profusely and promise to commit suicide after spilling your wine onto someone's tablecloth, but when the host pretends not to have seen you do it.

What is ППКС? I know what КГ/АМ is, but have no idea about ППКС.
