But, in my opinion, shouldn't you respect the traditions and feelings of us, a significant part of the Heroes community?

Allow me to express my opinion. (I'm not nitpicking words, but I've wanted to say this many times in real life, but I doubt anyone would understand.) No one is obligated to respect anyone!!!!!! But everyone should treat others with respect, even if they don't respect them. I've always been quietly annoyed by phrases like "Do you respect me?", "You have to respect your elders," "He should respect [someone]," and so on. Respect is a feeling, and how can you be obligated to feel it? How can you force someone to feel respect for someone else? How can you demand it? I especially hate it when someone asks someone else, "Do you respect me or not?" What if they don't... And then the person asking is provoking their interlocutor to either lie or hurt themselves. Who would be happy to learn that they are not respected? Maybe someone should be obligated to love someone else?! But everyone should, of course, treat each other with respect.
