Respectable is a relative term I guess. 
It's obvious that a lot of people here didn't attend the Vancouver Island DIY Meet 3 weeks ago

There is a difference between
respectable, and
reputable as used by the original poster. A
respectable person does not drink too much in public, urinate in the yard, argue forcefully about politics, religion and audio nor do they make unseemly jest at the opposite sex or their elders.
I
reputable person may do all of the above. They just do them in a constant manner in such a way as to form a
reputation among a group of people.
Is there going to be booze at the Vashon Island meeting? I may have to consult with my AA group before attending.
