There we disagree: there are different kinds of respect, one that can be 
earned and one that everybody deserves because of his humanity.  You 
talk about respect not earned but it seems to me you deny the other form 
as well.

> Pretending.  Lying.

That is just one way of looking at it.  By treating someone with respect 
whom one does not like one acknowledges that he is human as well.  No 
sympathy needs to be faked for that.  Also, politeness and honesty are 
not exclusive.  I can be polite and offer honest disagreement at the 
same time.

I believe by now attention has been drawn to a completely different 
subject - which might or might not help your goal.

If you consider that option you must be assuming that we do that based 
on some of your prior communication.  Since you entered this discussion 
about style where you elaborate your good intentions it must be 
important for you not to be viewed as a "shit".  What I do not 
understand: why do you employ a style of communication of which you 
assume that it has potential to harm your reputation?
