You've hit the nail on the head, there.  Peter Olcott doesn't show
respect here for anybody.  Because of this he isn't shown any respect
back - he hasn't earned any.  I don't think he understands the concept
of respect any more than he understands the concept of truth.

If he were to show repect, he'd repect knowledge, truth, and learning,
and strive to acquire these qualities.  Instead he displays contempt for
them.  This is a large part of what makes him a crank.  It is a large
part of what makes it such a waste of time trying to correct him,
something that you've sensibly given up.

 Respect? You don't know the meaning of the word: you haven't shown me
respect by snipping " --- Flibble is correct" from the subject title of
this thread.
