Loved the post but odd that you should use those tags because that article sums up not only how I feel about dress codes but also how I feel about fancy dress. Some folks love it and good luck to 'em. When I go to a party I want to go, socialise, drink and enjoy myself, not have to devote time to something I don't want/need to do :)

And I very much view any kind of dressing up as fancy-dress :->

I think the guy complaining about the dress code for dinner in a luxury hotel is completely unreasonable and is missing the point.
This is a luxury hotel. The dress code is simply asking him to show a bit of respect to his fellow diners. I'd say it seems like a pretty relaxed dress code anyway - it doesn't require a tie or a jacket or even socks. What it does do is prevent slobs from getting our of the pool and going to dinner in shorts or jeans, flip-flops and no shirt like you might see in some two-star beach hotel in Benidorm.
Dressing properly is nothing to do with obeying pointless rules and everything to do with basic politeness.

I am aware that some business cater to those who wish to impose rules on the attire of those around them, because they are so sensitive to them that they can have their evening ruined by the sight of a pair of shorts. I find it ridiculous though, and I'd rather not pander to them.

Balls to it, I say.
How on earth is it disrespect to other diners? Is the poster's proposed attire unpleasant to see? Smelly?
