Honestly, I don't expect/ask for anyone to respect me (personally, I wish they wouldn't) and I don't respect anyone myself, that is until I've met them in person and get to see if they are the persona they present to the world. If they are, and I get along with that person, they will undoubtedly get my respect. Anyone can behave however they want on the web and they usually do. How they act/behave in person is something completely different and very hard to disguise and I'm pretty good at reading that.
I do however respect what ppl accomplish (Martin's testing for example) and I will give props for that, just don't take it as respect.
