Ok first off, I don't really need anyone else's respect
I concur - Respect is earned not paid for with meaningless memes or smiley faces.
Some people don't need to feed their ego by getting thumbs up, likes, or an endorsement of what they say is right, we are not in a competition to sway opinion. If it resonates with like minds, or challenges those who differ, then the objective has been a success.
