So yes, I'm generally very well respected in my personal life.
As for the Escapist? Hell if I know
Just because you have a respectable career doesn't mean people respect you. I have a respectable career I could name drop about too. I don't think that inherently makes me a better person. I suspect you assume this is what people believe? I have worked with some high profile people who act in a such a way that I very much do not respect.
OT: How can anyone answer this question anyway? You are asking me to tell you what someone else thinks. I can't do that. I hope I am respected somewhat. I try to be an honest, caring and intelligent person and if that earns me respect, then great, but I don't know if anyone respects me. You will have to ask them.
