Chris, Thanks for your off the cuff response, mid-length version, whatever.
Can you imagine mutual respect without trust (between people, not nation states)? I can't. How about trust without mutual respect? For me, same answer. Is it a distinction that matters? Maybe this is a discussion of semantics. We can all do what's comfortable and work on the differences, etc. that arise. All grist for the mill. I see your point about the possibly less transactional quality of trust, but to me it's not important. I don't know what I'm going on about. Let's talk of something else. What goes on with distrust (or mistrust if you prefer) and/or mutual dislike/disrespect in open space? Ralph
