Clarify, is this the little respect, or the no respect.

Respect is not a single variable. If I tried hard enough then I might find some qualities of hers that I could respect, but they are drowned out by the weaknesses.

If 'Good' was to be a giving caring person. Then Selfishness would be bad. If 'Good' was to be somebody who cared as much for other people as himself. Then Selfishness would be bad. If 'Good' Was to be somebody who easily makes friends. (i am implying selfish people don't easily make friends). Then selfishness is bad.

1) No, bad logic. I asked for criteria, not opposites. There are criteria that define selflessness and selfishness as being good, but that's not important. I asked for criteria that define selfishness as bad, and you have not yet delivered.
2) Selfish people make friends as easily as selfless people (if not more so).

I suppose that depends entirely on your perspective, How much do you really care that people would mis-interpret a statement about you? V.s. ending the argument with less damage to both sides.

What damage have I incurred?

Simply becouse Moon Goddess was willing to let it go, unlike most others. I am certain there have been/will be other situations in which this won't be the case.

And if I do the same thing in those situations then you will have an argument. If and only if.

The "Believing myself to be superior to Moon Goddess" is certainly personal opinion.

Obviously, but everything is subjective. By my criteria I am superior to Moon Goddess. That is not arrogance, it is simple fact.

That is in a general sense, Certainly there are area's where either of you would excel more than the other. And those aren't insignificant.

Okie. Name a significant area in which she would defeat me

Perhaps there is a missing quality not being addressed. The ability to not defend yourself, for the greater good. (yes I remember, you find nothing good in not defending yourself).

'The ability to not defend yourself'? Isn't that just a rewording of 'the inability to defend yourself'? What makes you so sure that her departure was for 'noble' reasons and not simply because of the fact that, whenever she debates with me, she loses?
