I don't think you should respect anyone because of their success. I never said anything about Jordan's success.

I do however think you should respect people for being truthful and open, which I did credit to him.

No, if that person's being an ass, there's no reason to respect them, period. Even if they are truthfully, openly being an ass. It's only because he is in a position of influence that he can afford being an ass in public and still be respected by some people.
