How would you interpret the following statement? " If you're unable to post without showing disrespect to others, take it elsewhere." When I initially came across this statement it seemed that the writer might better have used the word 'respect' -- rather than 'disrespect'. After studying the statement carefully however, I'm now feeling that either way actually works to convey the idea intended without any apparent grammatical issues. Curious what other folks' perspective might be on this. Thnx - drfisch
