Nobody here is obligated to walk on eggshells just because you’re Mike Schinkel

Being respectful to someone if not walking on eggshells, and I don't expect anyone to know me from Adam so not sure why you would position it this way.

This is a significantly less formal atmosphere here. You’re just a name among 1000 names. I doubt anyone here even knows who you are.

My point exactly. I don't expect anyone to know who I am, and for that matter, who am I that matters? I am just a name among 1000.

That said, I don't see why asking people participating in a discussion to be respectful is a particularly outlandish thing to do. The world is a less dismal place when people treat each other with dignity and respect. Why should it be considered such an outrageous thing to ask for?
