Coach 2709, Just because I am a history teacher (and you know how THEY can be... ):  The quote in your signature block doesn't appear to be from Thomas Jefferson, although it often is attributed to him.  More info here:

With all due respect but I could care less.  I'm also a history teacher myself.

And since the link does not give credit to anyone else, I say no  harm no foul. 

I'd say "no harm, no foul" regardless.  But I'd be surprised to see evidence anyone in the 18th or early 19th century had used the phrase "mental attitude."  

"With all due respect" is a great phrase for online written communication:  It can mean anything from the the very mild up to and including "go ---- yourself."  And I suppose I anything along that spectrum is fair as a reply to someone introducing history on a baseball discussion board.
