Perhaps this is a cultural difference, but IMO respect doesn't necessarily mean agreeing with everything that someone says. If someone posts something that is incorrect, I believe that it's ok to point it out. That's one way to maintain the integrity of the forum. These threads are searchable and archival, and there is little benefit to having a random mix of correct and incorrect information.
When someone corrects an incorrect post of mine, I don't complain that I have been disrespected. Instead I try to recognize my error and "like" their post.

I am not talking about pro and contra using toothpaste on a watch.
I wrote I am very open for arguments!
If somebody wants to use toothpaste on their watch, I am ok with it! Their watch!
I just would not recommend it to others as toothpaste is not a polishing compound!
The difference between grinding-media and polishing-media is in the grain size!
“Looks fine to me” must not mean it’s fine polished to others.
Try to “polish“ your lenses with toothpaste...
Toothpaste also can stays it the space between crystal and bezel!
There are arguments against the use of toothpaste on a watch!
But, what I am talking about “respect to others” is to be called an
“borderline idiotic“ ...
That is no argument about toothpaste on a watch yes or no and why....
I am not at all ok with that!
And that has also nothing to do with cultural differences!
By the way the one and only post
of that person in this thread!
Might he has not much more to say...
It seams also ok to most of the folks here
... therefore I am out!
P.S.
Again, I am sorry for this mess here,
to the thread starter!
