Hmmmm.....let me see if I got this straight....just because someone is knowledgeable they should be respected? And all along I thought respect was earned...and it is very difficult for some folks to respect a person who talks "at" a person, not with them....but what the hell do I know???
Of course I am not accusing ANYONE here, present or not, of talking "at" anybody....but again, what the hell do I know????
