I think it is a bit arrogant to say that someone that has put up some amazing lines back in the day well before technical advancements and such should not garner your respect just because you don't personally know them.

What style is that? Do you carry your rack in your ass and turn around and shit the correct size stopper into the crack or something? THAT would be hard core.

i felt he was implying that unless he personally knew or experienced the person's "product" he would not respect them...

i believe he meant without actually climbing their climb or contribution, he had no basis on which to give them respect.

It must be a full-time job trying to earn your respect.
