I don't think you are. I am speaking about the Magat to whom you referred.

I can't of course tell you who to respect, but I could not do what you say you do, respect one.

At this point, it's ratcheted into Klan stuff.

I understand that one may need to work with such a person for economic reasons, but personally I have worked with and even for people I don't respect.
