This comment though is annoying (DI is scapegoat for now), why should anyone try to earn respect of someone who throws that at their faces.

There is a pile of people with that exact view on giving their respect. Earn it or go do one, that wouldn't make me want to earn your respect. It'll make me try and put as much emotional distance between each other as possible. Because it's a dickhead comment.

There's a conundrum here that I can think of but I can't seem to fucking word it. I'll try at a less tiring stance tomorrow.
I wasn't very clear, I guess. What I meant by 'fuck off' was simply that we can coexist with one another, but respect is not going to be doled out like fun sized butterfingers on Halloween. When it comes to my interactions with people in my personal life, I do my best to give what I get. If that's respect, outstanding. If not, we can move on, but chances are things won't be as pleasant as the other party would like. Earning my respect isn't hard in day to day situations, but getting it back once you've flushed it down the crapper? Usually impossible.

Pretty much this. But for me it's not respect for seniority, it's respect out of compassion.

That seems condescending.
^That.
