    Nope, they’re right. You are not owed respect by anyone.

      That sounds a bit like his ancap attitude to collective services.

      Answered elsewhere - I’m fine with that, and in your case I’d never want it.

        In my case in specific? Why single me out out of billions of strangers? What’s so special about me?

          You being the author of the comment I was answering, maybe.

            You’d never want my respect because you agreed with what I wrote?

              “And” doesn’t mean causality.

                What part of “Nope, they’re right. You are not owed any respect by anyone” makes me singled out for you not wanted to be respected by? Because that is the comment I authored and you said that is why you didn’t want respect from me.

                  “And” doesn’t mean causality.

                  Archimedes designed siege devices and died at Siracuse. Him designing siege devices is not the reason for him dying.

                  I agree that nobody owes me respect (I actually like it, because it removes the balancing part) and I’d not want respect from you. The latter is not a consequence of the former.

                  Also “I’d not want respect from you” in natural languages can mean “I want no respect from you” or literal meaning, I meant the latter.
