Perhaps this should be moved to the Philosophy section.
bobdobbs, I get where you are going with this. Let me try to explain where we are coming from. Let's look at your third definition of respect:
3) Willingness to show consideration or appreciation.
You must be willing to show consideration or appreciation of the board, the content and its members. More specifically, you must be willing to NOT be inconsiderate or unappreciative.
If it is your intent to be inconsiderate or unappreciative, then you have no reason to be here. If you can appreciate the board, the content and the members then, by your posted definition, you are being respectful.
The preceeding two statements are both mutually exclusive and comprehensive. It's either the former or the latter. Pick one.
