If I want a lot of DUers to lose respect for me, what's the quickest route?
I could leave in a huge huff several times and then come back again trying to pretend it never happened. (And no, this is not a specific reference to anyone--far as I know no one has done the aforementioned successfully. I will be the first!)

2. If you become a cyber-stalker
and say all kinds of horrible things about the person you're stalking, that seems to work.

Please don't though. You seem like a good person.

this is deeper than I originally suspected, given the pigeon analogy below. This isn't just about respect. Is it?

10. a lot of people are like pigeons
they squawk a lot and get shit and feathers everywhere.

they clump together and become pals.

there are very few people who can be relied upon to have good sense, a respect for proportion, and who are genuinely nice people.

there are about 5-10 people here whose opinions i regularly admire and who seem well-grounded enough in their identity to actually take seriously.

without naming names, we all know there is a little group around here (i call them the PM mafia) who have all these behind the scenes dramas and who are simply vicious.

i take none of them seriously. their opinions have no bearing upon anything.

in GD, there is the gaggle of "usual suspects." i watch them and laugh a lot. they seem so intent on building up their "cred." plus, they are transparent as hell and don't even know it. so very clever.

but as a rule, i have never found a case where someone did not have some flavor of agenda anywhere in life, and trustworthiness is always on a case-by-case basis.

40. Wow. That sounds very bitter.
I'm sorry you feel so much of the discussion here is so negative.

There is a lot of negativity, but there is also a whole lot of good stuff too.

But I can't. It's simply not possible to lose any respect for you.

16. Easy...
Start handing out excuses for Dumbyass' behavior.
Say things like:
"No wonder he's made mistakes! Everybody's always ragging on him!"
"At least he's repented."
"Poor guy. His past alcohol abuse has affected his judgement."
"Well he just wants freedom for everybody."
