NOT a personal attack RedTop, but to even utter this, you got to be the world's biggest optimist or you've been flying in the MA with your eyes closed.
Not to give too much away here, but I've been online (in chats, games and other virtual places) for more than 20 years. This is the rudest, meanest, most anti-social, bad-behavior-is-king place I've ever seen. If this is a community, its one filled with babies, whiners, bullies, cowards, bad boys, bull baiters and totally self-centered psychopathic teenie weenies (with apologies to those few in here who actually respect other people). And yes, IMO its got liars and cheaters too.
So, there is no way an all too significant number are NOT going to respect a damn thing, let alone the desires of someone else trying to enjoy themselves in this game in their own way.
I certainly wish it were otherwise. For myself, I try to respect the skill and 'game' of even those who shoot me down (vulchers are a little harder, but I still try), meet people and make a few friends. In fact, its pretty much how I behave in real life. I don't know any other way. Makes me think most people behave in here as they really are, too. Pitiful isn't it.
