I apologize in advance as I read just the first few posts and someone has probably said this..
I think respect should be earned and not appropriated to those who've been playing an
especially long time.. Granted, a good majority of these ol'timers (playing since AW, etc)
are good guys with lots of patience and quite generous when it comes to showing other guys
how it's done (playing and interacting with others in a respectable manor).
However, there are also a few who demand respect just because they've been part of the
community forever and think they run the place.. From them, you hear words like traitor..
This word in particular.. I could name a handful right now.. But we all know who these people are..
And then they make assumptions that you're just a scumbag in real life or cheat on your wife
or beat your kids because you don't play a frackin' video game the way they expect you to..
I would just as soon open my fly and give these people my blessing..
All in all, this game is a microcosm of the rest of the world.. It will only get worse as the
standards drop..
