Glad to see you amended your post funked. The fastest way to gain respect from some one, is to treat them with respect. If you start out by calling them an a**hole, it wont go very far from there.
I think too many people, worry to much, about being liked. If I learned anything from the clinton presidency, it was that being well liked, and being right, are NOT the same thing.
Personally, I am indifferent to the affections of other players. Given the choice of being liked, and being treated with respect, I will take the latter every time.
