[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7853946, member: 177"] There's a bit of rhetorical slight-of-hand here that often happens when the word "respect" comes up. There are two things we call "respect" 1) a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. 2) due regard for the feelings, wishes, rights, or traditions of others. The first form needs to be earned. The second one does not. We sometimes elide between them, but we shouldn't. Please raise your hand if you have real issues with the following proposition: As a baseline we should have a modicum of respect for our fellow sentient, feeling human beings such that we should generally not do flagrantly insulting things to their faces just because we feel like it. This isn't a huge ask. This is [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule']The Golden Rule[/URL] This is [url='https://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2007/08/pax-ftw.html']Wheaton's[/URL] [URL='http://www.wheatonslaw.com/']Law[/URL]. This is basic civility. It is unfortunate that I feel I need to give references for this, but some of you talk like you have forgotten that to live with hundreds of millions and billions of other human beings, we need to give others the tiniest bit of consideration.
