Well, respectful anyway in my case. I think it's because a lot of WAS equate what LBS view as being nice as us being weak. I don't agree with that, but I think that's how many of them think from what I've seen.
I've actually avoided a lot of arguments/anger in my case from being stronger and less nice. And I feel better about myself, stronger, more self-confident, better PMA. Hasn't helped my marriage, but I don't know that anything could have really... Karen
