You've got a very valid point there. I get a lot of flack from people for treating everyone the same. I've even heard people gasp "Don't you KNOW who he is?" when I don't fall all over someone I am "supposed to". Meh... We're all people and I treat people as I would like them to treat me. I wish more people shared your opinions on this. Great post. You’ve got a very valid point there. I get a lot of flack from people for treating everyone the same.
