Yo Sis, Well...I always got respect for my elders - so I guess that means I have LOTS of respect for you...hehehe, you know I'm just kidding. Come give ya bro a hug, I won't hug too tight - I know how age can weaken bone structure and all. Oh, okay, you DO knowing I'm just playing with ya. Maybe we should all follow the rules of my culture - its like a cultural rule that you ALWAYS respect your elders, and if you don't then that elder (or anyone else for that matter) has a right to beat ya rear end! Its kinda scary growing up when you have family occasions like weddings or tangi (funerals) and some old lady you don't even know is smacking ya round the ears for being disrespectful...gees, you should see them ol' grannies go hard with their walking sticks. And you don't very complain about it, or say something like "Hey, you ain't my mother"...or EVERY grannie in walking stick range takes a swipe at ya. Brutal I tell ya.

Hiya Thunderhead...I had this very same thought today on one of the posts written by a new member...that I notice now has been deleted. So I do agree with you to some extent, except...cough...cough...the part where you say that some come new members come on here and relate to the elders as though they are equals. Ouch...that kind of hurt. You're not saying that I'm not equal to anyone else at this site are ya? I have all the respect in the world for those who have been here for a good length of time and I do see the difference in the way most elders carry themselves and the way they treat others with kindness and respect...and that is a great example for all new members...but I do see myself as equal to anyone also. So I quess I'm a little confused here. Whine...whine...I am to equal! LOL -Lady Nyx ![]() |

I would also like to point out that I was coming here before I even signed up. When I started here there was no chat, tags didn't come along until months and months after I was signed up, and that was kind a Jedi-idea...he got the very first tag, I remember it's chat debut. There were also no fancy categories, the categories were simple and numbered a great deal less than now. I think it is important to appreciate this site, for I have seen it change before my own eyes. ![]() |

Good Point, Thunderhead! I am new (although certainly not young, LOL) and just got here recently. When I first started reading through the post, a few just sent me over the top. And I replied immediately, without checking profiles to see if the author was speaking from experience, had a particular axe to grind, or was simply stating an opinion. And some of the posts seemed to be expecially hurtful, which always brings out the "help the underdog" and "beat up the bully" part of myself. Even within just the last week, I have found that people that I immediately judged one way or the other, tend to not be one way at all. So, your advise is well accepted by myself, but to those who simply want to humiliate and crush those of an opposite viewpoint, you are open game as far as I am concerned. You can differ in views, and even feel your view is correct, but that does NOT mean that anothers opinion is wrong. Just different! Lightworker ![]() |

looks like im with the minority again. i dont agree with what you said. EVERYONE deserves as much respect as the next person. how can you say that everyone doesnt deserve equal respect? that in its self is disrespectful to EVERY new comer to the site. yes, respect the admins and all that respect you. but dont disrespect anyone. you earn respect. the elders may have earnt respect from all the others who have been here a fairly long time, but not to the new comers. i hate it when people just expect to be given respect from people they dont even know just because of a badge or status! if you dont earn respect from a person and expect it just because you are 'more important' then them, then yuo are rude and dont deserve all the respect you get. people like admin and admin 2 deserve respect from all the people using this site because it is theirs, like you would expect a visitor to respect the owner of a home. but if you saw a man shout at a boy because he doesnt show him respect (say for example he is a wealthy business man), he doesnt deserve respect from anyone except the people he has worked with and knows.

Eddy, what we are talking about are the people who are rude right off the bat. The people who just come in here and think they're boss. We are NOT talking about bowing down to anyone or being rude to newcomers or higher numbers. If I don't recall, you yourself showed a lack of respect a while back with your one story about the Admins. If you had any respect for the site, and if you had been here long enough, you would not have publically denounced them, AND you would have gone through the very clearly outlined PROPER channels on the FAQ page. So, in essence, I really don't hold a great deal of respect for the way you act here at the site, as sometimes it is irresponsible, but as a person I hold a certain respect for you. ![]() |

I'm working on getting back my original ID of 1631 so I can gain even MORE prestige than I already feel is my due! Juuust kidding. I do agree with Banner, that debates are fair game and no one is any higher up than the other. I come here to enjoy new views, new ideas and pick on new people! But there is an element of commaradarie with us older members that none of you newer ones may ever appreciate. We have been here through thick, thin, good, bad, arguments, love affairs, this, that and the other. We have seen a lot of changes take place, some we like, some we don't. I think the one thing that bonds us older members is the strength and resolve of our individual personalities. Although I may not always agree with my peers, they certainly have earned my respect and that is what keeps me coming back! Great post!... ![]() |

Well I am going to say this even though I probably shouldn't but I am only being honest. I will relate to all and everyone as if they are my equal. I am somewhat offended by this because its almost as if you are saying that because I don't have a tag and a certain member number I am beneath others that do. Respect is earned not given. I have seen plenty of members with tags that are rude and some that have been warned by the admins to knock it off. In my own honest opinion I think that THIS is the worst problem of all with the site. I have seen many people on this site that have a big head about themselves because of how long they have been here. In truth it really doesn't matter, everyone should be given the same respect regardless of any kind of status............Azairyia ![]() |

I think the problem with those of you that disagree is your misunderstanding of the post. She is not talking about the tag...the tag doesn't matter. She is talking about the number. Now, just because I have an older number does not mean I am entitled to disrespect anyone, and I'm sorry if you take it to mean that, but it doesn't. What she is talking about is the lack of respect that is shown when someone first comes to this site and is incredibly rude to everyone. I know it really irritates me when I am in chat and someone with a newer number comes in and starts to swear or say things that are uncalled for, and having been here a long time, I feel very obligated to calm that person down. When that person disrespects me and the site, it is very, very offensive because I have been here so long I have become attached to the site, in a way. And, to be honest, it may not be most of you replying to this, but I have encountered this a great deal, as have others, and I have seen it in posts as well. I know a lot more about this site than many newcomers do, and if they disagree about that, then there are generally problems. ![]() |

You know, when I first replied to this post, I said I agreed. But now, I am not too sure. I agree that members who joined this site at an earlier date may know the protocol better, but from what I have seen and read, I am not at all sure that I could say that they ALWAYS follow the protocol and rules, anymore than the newcomers ALWAYS do! I am grateful for the site, and all those who have worked to keep it alive, but if you did not get any new members with new ideas and opinions, you would have probably grown quite tired of each other by now. So, as far as I am concerned, keep the new blood coming; if they are rude or unruly, I'm quite sure they will be "whipped" into shape in no time. *Dimples* Lightworker ![]() |

Hey everyone. I have only been a member here for 2 months now, but have been coming here and reading stories and checking the place out for about 4 months. When I first found this place and read a few stories, I decided this site was different than alot of others (more closely knit), so I decided to observe the site a while and get to know people before I joined up. In that time, from reading stories and replies, I decided who I thought were good people here, and I would like to say I discovered most of you are very helpful and respectful. I got to know ya'll before I joined so I could interact with ya'll better. This is indeed a special place, and people who are rude degrade it. I do express my opinion if it differs from someone, but I do it respectfully. I don't run them down, I just state my view. I would like to say I have seen some fairly new people, who seem very wise and deserve respect too. I try to be nice to everyone. One thing I do hate though, is people who are not members, just writing stupid and mean comments to stories that do not even make sense and are just wasting space. I think that to reply to a story you should be required to be a member, that way we can see who you are and you wouldn't be as likely to just write stupid mean comments. Peace to all. -HH ![]() |

Well stated Thunderhead, I would have to agree with Banner on this one, also. For we have to earn our repsect the same as anyone else at the site. I do agree that we have been here longer, but this should make us role models for the new members and that means we can help them understand the site better. So in respect to you and your post, this is awesome. I hope they all understand that we are not going to be mean to them, but help them understand the site more from our viewpoint. And as always you have my respect and i hope I can earn alot of repect from others:) ![]() |

Nice post but the only problem I see is that sometimes the elders are not so nice to the *NEWBIES* as someone stated above.... ![]() |

Hmmm...I sort of agree with Eddy in a way, that everyone deserves an equal amount of respect, regardless of how long they've been here. But, I also see alot of newcomers immediately disrespecting everyone, before they really even know what it's like here or who is worthy of respect. Guess I'm sort of taking the middle ground here... ![]() |

I've been here since sept. '99. I'm one of the older folks, both as far as how long I've been here at USM, as well as in age. I can't say that that means I've been 100% innocent of rudeness, myself. Those of us with tempers, need to count to 10 before we click the mouse. ![]() |

For the record I dont believe that numbers are an indication of how long a person hes been here. Maybe the gremlins have something to do with it but when someone logs on as a new user they do not neccesarily get the next number in line. Due to computer problems, I have head three numbers, and 160 was the last one that I drew. I dont know if anyone else knows this so just file it under FYI. ![]() |

Oh, Pamyjo, that is just too too hilarious. I know I have a somewhat sick sense of humor, but how, now, are we to bow in awe to those who were here before us, if we can't count on the humbers?Lightworker ![]() |

Where in the world does someone get the name "Big Feet Running Hog"? Surely not from a parent, or they have a sicker sense of humor that I do!! LOL!! I obviously need to meet your sister! *Smiles* Lightworker ![]() |
