Yes, I do have an opinion about that. Disrespect is not one of the

Disrespect is often in the eye of the beholder. I certainly have no
trouble detecting disrespect in some of your messages, but I'm sure
you'll disagree.


It has not been my intent. I do get a bit upset by some type of answers and you are right, it is then in the eye of the beholder. I can understand if Eli feel a bit hurt. He took long time to write a long answer and I just pointed to some a little bit weaker points in the answer.

So, Eli, there I missed your point and I apologize for that.

I try to have respect for that more economic reasoning that you are using, but I often fail there. (On the other hand I often try to tell people that I learned one thing from that kind of reasoning and that is that you sometimes have to take a decision without having all the knowledge of the details that you wish you had.)

And I often prefer to keep my own opinion even under strong pressure. It is unusual, but it is not out of disrespect. Though those things are close in a way it is still possible to distinguish them.
