I've read your second paragraph too many times in too many different versions. You know how I feel about the matter, and I know how you feel. You could've stated that to prevent ultra text power.
Though, you are quite wrong if you think I lack respect of you. One can respect someone even if he does not agree with the person's recent outings. I point to Peyton Manning, as I despise him, yet respect what he's done.
However, sir. I do not despise you. For I think you were the only one that actually showed concern for me while I was quite ill. That was when we were at each others' throats however. You know I've respected you for quite a while, I'm just saying some people here respect you and probably don't have a reason why.
There you go again telling me what I could have done or not done. It seems to be a common theme with you Ant. I'm confident there are a great many things any one of us could do or not do differently in just about any given situation. What it boils down to is that it was my decision to make and I made it as I desired just as you do yours. No one else has to like it (though in the interest of maintaining certain relations with various people sometimes one may end up caring how one's decisions are perceived/received).
You're welcome regarding inquiring as to your health at the time. I do not despise you either. True, we do not see eye-to-eye on a number of things yet that is hardly uncommon - that the matters we don't agree on regarding this thread tend to be hot button topics does allow for added...intensity.

I'm not going to second guess the motivations of those whom appear to respect me at any great length. It is nice to be liked yet only as long as it does not entail compromising who I perceive myself to be as a person. It is for each person to realise why they think and feel the way they do - sometimes with the assistance of others; sometimes on their own. At least that is my opinion. We can all benefit from a helping hand now and then yet we are also responsible for our own actions as long as we are free. Freedom under responsibility.
