Enough with the attitude. I don't care how many umlauts or fake-ass titles you have, or what the planes flew like in the kiddie sim you used to play. Shut up and fly. You want respect? Earn It.

Agreed Funked, but this goes to everyone, not just the newbies. Most here have my respect but there are a few that dont and im not talkin newbies.

Dog out.........

Reading this again, it looks pretty hostile, so let me clarify. I love newbies. Newbies rule. I can remember when some of my best squaddies were newbies. If any new guys want help please message me on private in the arena. I haven't done any training for a while and it would be fun.

You're right Funked respect has to be earned but the problem is not just newbies, there are some people here who just because they've been around a while automatically think they should command respect. IMO its why another community went so sour so perhaps we should learn from it before this community goes the same way.

Glad to see you amended your post funked. The fastest way to gain respect from some one, is to treat them with respect. If you start out by calling them an a**hole, it wont go very far from there.

I think too many people, worry to much, about being liked. If I learned anything from the clinton presidency, it was that being well liked, and being right, are NOT the same thing.

Personally, I am indifferent to the affections of other players. Given the choice of being liked, and being treated with respect, I will take the latter every time.

Respect?

Try livin with a 2 legged fat assed moron that considers everything under 18 inches in height a 'rodent'. I had ta shred his pillow, toejam in his headphones, puke in his sneakers and give him a half a dozen 22 claw salutes to get him to show me a bit of respect... lived with the bum fer two years before I discovered that 'dammit' was NOT my name.

You jokers are lookin fer 'respect' from a text group on a computer monitor? Jeeeezus... and I thought the lard-ass that feeds me wuz stupid..

Hairball (you don't have to respect me.. fear will do nicely; thanks)

It's not trash talking Knits that makes Rooks and Bish feel superior. It's not being Knits that makes Rooks and Bish feel superior.
