It is more about treating people with the respect that you wish to be treated with.
Comment on Why aren't people harassing marketers?

Because I try my best to treat other people the way I wish to be treated myself. I have no desire to harass anyone, and if I did, I’d feel awful about it. There are enough jerks in the world already, and I don’t want to add to that. Nobody has ever stopped acting shitty because people responded by acting shitty toward them. What you’re advocating isn’t virtuous, no matter what story you tell yourself about it. You’re just trying to justify your own bad behavior so you don’t have to feel guilty when you go to bed at night.

Absolutely not true, and also contrary to the entire premise of the justice system.

Marketers and Advertisers don't respect you, though. Why respect anybody who just doesn't respect you? People are just going to act shitty or have potential to be shitty anyways even if you respected them, that's just how some of it goes.
I don't respect anybody who feel they're entitled to my time and sometimes, money.

My unwillingness to mistreat a stranger doesn’t mean I respect them.
