Often it's stated that "respect must be earned." Well, it's difficult to earn respect when you have no tact towards others.

And, as a former DUer and good friend of mine once noted, "The Religion group is just a shooting gallery." That's really the main reason I don't post there. Ignoring people is sometimes difficult for me. So, I salute your steadfastness!
