A reminder.
If you want me to listen to you, there are a few things you need. First, I’m going to have to respect you. Second, you’re going to have a compelling reason. Otherwise, you’re just another gasbag flapping your lips.
If this seems arrogant, I assure you it’s not; it’s life. Get used to it.

For respect, I’ll defer to Aretha Franklin - she knows how to spell it.
As for being a gasbag, I have, on occasion, eaten foods that cause this to be true.
You are now wondering why you took the time to listen to this comment in the first place.
