Just because someone disagrees with another does not mean they disrespect them, if they shout them down or don't listen to what they are saying then that is more like disrespect.
I think in the main,for instance, Dan's main gripe is the way some, like the Twins, shout at him.
He of course has allowed himself to be guilty of the same too at times once things get heated.

Respect has many forms,I respected my Grandparents,as a child rarely speaking until I was brought into the conversation. you do that out of respect for them and also their age.
However they also earned that respect too.
People who just demand respect are as wrong as those being seemingly disrespectful.

Having said that some professions,like the Medical profession, Police, Firemen, Teachers do and should command some level of respect unless they totally abuse their position of authority.

If I had to sum up respect, for me it would be not so much what you 'have' to 'say' or 'do' to someone but it is much more about 'how' you 'say' or 'do' it.
If people try to be reasonable,no matter the issue, then they are more likely to get a more positive response in the main,I think anyway.

Yes I agree with that. I do not feel respect for Jackie because of her overall behaviour towards others.She is disrespectful.
