Example. Pah. When I 1st joined this forum, he did not like me (or my impression was he did not), nor I him. But I respected him because of that. In fact, because of that respect, I learned a lot from him. He opened my eyes to aspects about myself that others, being 'polite' and 'mature' would not have. In doing so, I humbled myself to the aspect that he was right, and I was wrong. I probably respect him more then anyone else in this forum for sticking to his guns. because of him, I feel I have 'matured'.
Jay is another one. I disagree with is position on most things, and he lacks tact :bow:, but I respect him. And I value 'respect' more then 'like' He don't like me, nor do I like him. But I respect him. To me it is more 'mature' to be truthful.
