I just don’t like the pedestal she’s put on and especially when she’s elevated above the Son. I don’t mean to be disrespectful but once in a while I do get annoyed by what others say and I react not so nicely. Sorry.
She is absolutely not elevated above the Son by Catholics! It sounds as if you've skipped all the Catholic posting on this subject and accepted the Protestant postings, all of which I recall reflect a frightening ignorance of the matter and a determination to persist in it.
Then again, “respect” seems to be a relative term:

That’s a lie. Born again believers HAVE to live up to the message of Christ. The indwelling Holy Spirit doesn’t let us get away with NOT living that way. Shows me you have no idea of how we live. Just because we don’t believe Mary is our mommy and that the wafer is our daddy doesn’t mean what we believe is wrong. JESUS is our strong tower and our salvation. Nothing else.

So being annoyed is an excuse for not acting Christ like.
