No Respect!

[unclemike]

OP, I like this forum. A whole lot even. I try and be respectful but don't always succeed. Recently for instance I did not succeed and am still not sorry about it. Now the same one that I was not so nice to started to PM me, asking more things and I answered. He doesn't keep it on the forum like suggested and even got me the impression it is just a troll. Either that or an IQ of below 80.
Perhaps I should post those PM's on the forum, let others know.

While I respect your opinion and even agree we should be nice there are limits. Respect is not given, it is earned. When I first signed up to the forum I got all the respect needed and I wasn't even being very nice all the way.

The problem is not the old users, it is the new ones. Nobody will last on BHW with just negativity. All the accounts I saw that did, got banned...
Also, perhaps this forum is not for everyone. It actually takes work to get anywhere, this excludes some groups. Everybody can make it though.
But, you are correct, at first we should be nice to others. It is what makes BHW the great forum it is. That and the loads of information available answering just about any question.

Hello and thanks for participating.
I have read your post around the forum more than once and your definitely a good contributor.
I guess one thing to remember is politeness and general tact is separate from respect. You are right that respect is
earned over time where as being polite is something freely we can give.

Anyway nothing that you stated I disagree with either...Just we have different angles at looking at this.

Take care,
Unclemike

Thank you for the kind words, I feel the same about you.

Had I been smart tho, I would have read up on the forum before contributing to this thread. My reply does not really apply as you seem to be referring to something else than I was.

Now that I did read up and understand why you made this thread I have nothing to add other than: You are right. 100%
