^Very possible.
If that's the case, that's very discouraging. I've tried really hard to treat everyone with respect and be open about learning yall's view points. Though I wouldn't rule out having not done such a good job at this, despite trying.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
