to each their own, but fundamentally, that's chicken and the egg problem

if you won't extend respect to someone, why should they respect you? It started somewhere with someone not being respectful but continuing to not extend it yourself is just contributing to a problem, not solving it.

I like you oblique, but this is bs. - groiny Apr 17, 08:32 15
- can i just say something - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:34 2
  - because people are not held accountable. - groiny Apr 17, 08:35 1
    - i hadnt really thought of that. - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:38
- keeping to oneself != respect, imo -- nm - oblique Apr 17, 08:33 11
  - i know what you are saying, but, if it's the best way to keep the peace for the common good, i would say that is a respectful move. -- nm - Andie Apr 17, 08:34 9
    - It's semantics, I know. It keeps the peace and is a nice thing but it doesn't really solve anything - oblique Apr 17, 08:36 8
      - the thing is you can't police how someone feels about something. only that person can. all anyone can do is control their own actions and feelings. - Andie Apr 17, 08:37 7
        
        I'm not really looking for policing options but as Spawn said, food for thought and hoping people can make those internal changes - oblique Apr 17, 08:40 2
        
        stop saying that, its making me hungry. -- nm - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:41 1
        
        totally, what's for lunch today? -- nm - oblique Apr 17, 08:42
        
        true. - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:40 3
        
        forced rolls might do the trick. - znufrii Apr 17, 08:46 2
        
        maybe, but how many times have seen see a fresh roll spoiled by spillover. -- nm - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:48 1
        
        then you keep rolling it until whoever's involved gets the f*cking point. -- nm - znufrii Apr 17, 08:52
  - As I have said, I am *trying* to show some respect for ST. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 08:34
