Who do you respect?

@NaturalBornTraveller said in #13:

What do you mean?
Cesspool? Nazi? In the Lichess Forum?
That's a big criticism, care to expand?
This brings me to one of my pet peeves. I don't respect people who hate on certain things, such as pickles, just because someone else said they don't like pickles. If its a principle people choose to live by, like the decision to never drink or smoke, that's different to me though.

Do you also respect your enemies?
Of course. It's not my problem they don't respect me. It's their problem they don't respect such a cool person like me

@NaturalBornTraveller, sorry I am a little late in replying! Nice job with the grammar -- this is pretty tricky.

Here you were partially correct (this was in post #11):

For example If I say " I threw her at him" (Sorry about that :-)
This doesn't write as "I threw whom at whom"
(Don't ask me why, need an expert here)
So who do I call? Whom do you think? ;-)
@rachel8
My guess is that, who I threw is the subject, and whom it hits is the object.
Meaning it should be written as, I threw who at whom?
Or vise versa, depending on the narrative?

In the sentence "I threw her at him", "I" is the subject, "her" is the direct object, and "him" is the object of the preposition "at". So actually, yes, you would say, "I threw whom at whom" because direct objects and objects of prepositions need the object pronoun, that is, "whom". (And actually, in the original sentence you did use the object pronouns properly, choosing "her" and "him".)

"I threw her and hit him"

Yes, this is correct!

"I hit him when I threw her"

This is correct, too!

(whom was hit by her)

Here it should be "who was hit by her". This is different because it is written in the passive voice (https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/grammar/english-grammar-reference/active-passive-voice), which means that the subject is receiving the action. Since that pronoun is the subject, it needs the nominative case, which is "who".

Sorry, for throwing you around:-)

No problem! And now to return us back to the OP's topic ... I try to respect all people. Some people are easier to respect. I especially respect people who help others, and if they can do it with calmness during high-stress situations or with a sense of humor, that takes the cake!

teachin' me inglish can u belief it!?
...in a chatlike forum full of taipoes and misstakies!?
...and me not eaven beeing natif.

no, serious: i still believe "Who do you respect?" is correct - i thought because 'to respect s.o.' took the accusative case ('who' then) (not dative, 'whom'), but found no clue of the alike, and it seems, possesive aaand objective cases can take 'whom'.

Someone who accepts their fault and is willing to change.
People who admit their mistakes are hard to find and those who want to change, harder.
