It starts with the initiator. Those who like to poke and jab should use better discretion as to who they are messing with and the relationship, or lack of, that individual has with the other.
If someone says they don't like something and to please stop, the respectful thing to do is stop. Not blow it up and compound it like HCP does on a regular basis. He gives zero respect to some people here and bitches and whines when its tossed back at him in kind.
Don't initiate issues and there will be far less of them. Something I wish HCP would learn.
