What does Romans 14:1 mean?

I just discovered this verse!!!
Maybe this is why I really had no problem calling my AOG best friend from the USMC "brother" and really mean it.
But I would like to see this scripture discussed among other Apostolics, who are much more Apsotolic than I am-- maybe I've got the wrong idea or something.

Personally glad that tradition never ceased

Re: "Doubtful Disputations"
Well, the churches in Rome were "Apostolic". Context means everything for this.
Count me out if this turns into a three-step/standards debate.

I know Paul told Timothy to be circumcised and he did so as an adult to help in spreading the Gospel.
Which that is mind boggling to me. How would they know if others were circumcised or not?
WHY DID THEY CARE?!
I mean, I know about the law, the commandment and the separation, but it seems a bit uh misguided for them to care so much about their "brothers" private parts.
"Brothers" are in quote because wasn't their status as a brother questioned or even denied if they weren't circumcised?

ROFLOL! I think this was such a big part of culture. They probably asked each other. Maybe he didn't want to be a fraud either. I don't know. Hopefully they didn't carry around the foreskin.

That was Paul's point and the debate in Acts 15. They concluded the are brethern, and on the flip side, the Gentiles "liberty" of not requiring the snip job was not to be lauded. Along with other customs.
