I have no respect?

When have I ever made a derogatory comment about Italians or attacked him in a thread?

He is constantly attacking people in threads and everyone turns a blind eye to it.

I do have respect. I have been nothing but polite and courteous towards him and I get nothing back but vitriol. Respect is a two way street.

I make the odd humorous comment (some of my comments are admittedly silly) but it's not near every comment. Most of that is for the shout box. I never start threads just to provoke people.

He could have disagreed with me without having the attitude and accusatory tone.

I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
