Where do we draw the line?

You know, I've kept quiet about this stuff since it started. I guess now is the time to put in my OPINION... <br /> <br />It seems the individuals that complain the most about off-topic, lack of respect, etc., are the ones doing the most to perpetuate this line of threads. How does one expect respect if one can not/ will not put the concept of respect to use? <br /> <br />Frankly, through the lack of restraint of certain individuals, I have, very unfortunately, lost all manner of respect for them. The way I see it, if you, as an adult, can not/will not treat a child/teenager/another adult with the respect and dignity you would like bestowed upon yourself, then you are without merit for any amount of respect from others. Regardless of the venue. <br /> <br />The events of the last couple of days have amounted to no more than school yard bullying. No one has forced anyone to respond to certain statements. Those responses have been solely for the sake of exacerbation. If a topic doesn't suit your fancy, don't waste your time reading it/responding to it. <br /> <br />Respect is not something that is owed nor deserve, rather what is earned. <br /> <br />If anyone cares to take a pot-shot at me, be my guest... But before you do, think for one minute what you'll have to gain from it, and what you'll have to lose. Surely, you'll gain nothing, just lose someones respect. <br /> <br />Again, these are just my opinions, and if I've ticked anyone off in the process of stating my opinion, my humble apologies, in advance. <br /> <br />Rey
