These messages are very unrespectful. I don't need a screen full of this
BS! Stop it!

What he thought of me as a person was completely irrelevant.
Nice example. If you now try to abstract from it, that means
exactly that: whatever criteria each one choses to be important
is none of your (or my) business.
That is exceedingly poor abstraction. What it means is I would
have to be a complete idiot to allow my personal feelings to interfere
in any way with my ability to continue living and breathing. It also
means his manner, no matter how offensive, is in no way relevant to
his skill.
Of course, there is also absolutely no way he or anyone else is
going to hurt my feelings by being brutally truthful. The only thing
that mattered is he felt he could fix me.

Duty? Are you serious? I certainly never took an oath to
Debian. Did you? My duty is what I choose it to be, and nothing else.

Who says? It is definitely not my top priority.

While trying to respect what? I never, ever *TRY* to respect
anyone or anything. I either do or I do not. Neither is at all
difficult.
Perhaps to someone else her physician's bedside
manners are more important that her own life?
Are you suggesting women are idiots? If not, then why do you say,
"Her"?
In the great scheme of things, I am perfectly well aware my life
is not particularly important. Not very long from now I will cease to
live, and in less than a century - probably not much more than a
decade - no one will have any idea who I was or even that I ever
lived. Boo Hoo. That my life is far, far less important than many
millions of other things does not, however, mean my life is not worth
much more than many things. My personal feelings are way, way down
that list.
It's on us to respect that.
No, it isn't. Not even a tiny bit. I respect anyone's right -
male or female - to be as stupid as they want to be. That does not
mean I respect them, nor can anyone anywhere compel me to do so. I
also will not choose to mourn anyone killed by their own foolishness.
