"With all due respect...."

Hm.....

Not to be unduly disrespectful or critical, but it seems to me that
displays a lot more respect than was due.

When I was a small child I was frequently reminded that I must always
be respectful toward other people. Being a small child, I accepted
this dictum uncritically and tried to live up to it, despite having
only the vaguest fuzzy notion of what it meant. Well, it didn't take
too long to learn. I think I had gotten a pretty good handle on it by
what I suspect was about the second grade.....just about the time that
it was made clear to me that if I wanted some of that respect from
other people for myself, I would have to earn it. Ever since that
time, I've always felt that I shouldn't need to point out (let alone
explain to anyone) the logical, social, and moral inconsistency in
this apparently irreconcilable pair of imperatives. But experience
suggests otherwise.....nobody else seems to notice.

Or maybe I'm just the only person on the planet who isn't entitled to
everyone's respect simply by virtue of being a featherless
biped.

giles.
who, things being complicated enough already, won't even go into the
matter of feathered bipeds or other locomotive models, with or without
feathers.

Chwarae teg! I assume it was a discreet hint that membership enquiries
might not be entirely unwlecome...and a prompt to any old comrades who
might have forgotten to re-enlist. And a not unreasonable bum-covering
manoeuvre in case the unlucky sec had managed to leave somebody out.

The website's not too complimentary about their money manager, though:
"The treasurer of the Club is: vacant".

Sounds rather roundabout and needlessly complicated.

One suspects that she or he is not lonely.
