I never stated anything about respect, and my post was actually extremely logical.

I actually do believe that we sometimes have poor quality ref situations. That is one reason why I love being a volunteer coordinator: so that I can help improve the system by recruiting new refs.

Don't like it? Be part of the solution, not the problem.
Complaining in public forums contributes to the problem, by making it difficult to recruit new and improved refs.
