I was talking to a peer of mine one day and was complaining about someone not understanding what I thought was an obvious security concept (I don’t recall the details anymore, but it’s irrelevant). Remember that everyone knows something you don’t, so while they need your help for security, you need their help for something else, even if you don’t know what that is yet. Some people won’t deserve your respect, I’m not suggesting we become whipping posts, but the majority of people you should probably pay attention to.
