My problem wasn't with the idea that mitzvos refine our character, but in 
seeing the value of bizayon hamitzvot as meaning to lead to kavod between 
people. I think that the dislike of bizayon hamitzvot should lead to respect 
to HQBH and His Torah. Of course, that includes bein adam le'haveiroh, but we 
are emphasizing the bein adam lamaqom here.
