Yeah no I mean you pretty much covered it. That and people live by the mantra 'respect is earned' which basically translates to respect my authority or I won't treat you like a person. So no anyone with that mentality can stay on their muddy side of the fence and not even look at my side of the grass lol. Who uses soy unironically anyways?
