My apologies for the erroneous ascription, Pim.
The best way to end the vicious circle is the obvious one: one ought to
refuse to be part of it.
The difficulty with this solution is not that it fails, but that we have
an innate problem with treating others respectfully when they refuse to
treat us in the same way.
As a consequence we have an entire society waiting for somebody else to
make the first move.
