Am I correct in saying that you believe using improper language demonstrates a LACK of "respectfulness of fellow human beings" ?
If I am correct, how do you feel about the contrapositive of that argument?
A respectfulness of fellow human beings can not be demonstrated by a person who uses disparaging language.

That's actually a neat way of doing interviews. I'm a little sad that they seem to have discontinued this practice, because I agree with you that how we treat others directly exposes are own personality and character. So we're clear, you wouldn't find me personally being hostile or rude towards wait staff.

Certainly. I agree again. The point of this post, however, is to assess TFP's perception of them relative to each other. Which is worse? And would someone being a verbal asshole prevent you (or any of the following posters) from believing that person was a "good person" ?
