Pulling us way off topic...
I disagree. I respect people, I like people. That doesn't necessarily mean I will (or oblige me too) respect their MOC.
Example, I respect a 7 year old kid, He or she has a lot of potential, a lot of talent, etc. But when I see a MOC I may not care for it (regardless of time/money spent). I won't be rude (I hope I never have been), but while encouraging them I still don't have to respect the MOC...
God Bless,
