We must at least try to be respectful and cordial to all men. When the Scripture commands us to love our neighbor as ourself, it isn't referring to our emotions, but rather to our actions. We are to do what is most beneficial for them rather than harmful to them. And this must NEVER be construed to mean we are to restrict our actions to those things which the world has classified as "positive". The Church is most loving when it excommunicates an unrepentant member. Thus, our actions must be prudent, just, done with the sole intent of the other person's good and motivated by one's love for God and the desire to glorify Him. Sometimes, wisdom would dictate that we remain silent too. wink
