Demanding Respect from other MAs a defeatist attitude?

[mmljpp]

we as people should try to show respect to everyone this is not from arts but from my roots in Christianity but lets look at it this way what if there is a great martial artist but he or she is a child molester or rapsit or just a horible person should we show them respect??

When I think about respecting other Martial Arts and other Martial Artist, it really only comes with my own mindset to be humble. I may not care for a certain style or practitioner ( and there are some that I do not ), but I refuse to openly criticize them. Instead, I try to train harder in the style that I am a participant. I do not believe that my style or my own technique is better or worse than others. I respect the person who trains hard in whatever they are passionate about, whether they are good at it or not.
