At what point on TBH does one gain respect? Is it given at the time they first are welcomed to the fire and eventually lose it or gain more of it as they contribute. Or does one get welcomed to the fire with no repspect and eventually earn it?

Do we as a group learn who the general population is an give only those ladies and gentleman respect and are they considered the ones on the "inside".

I've noticed with time some people are quick to jump on others when voicing their opinion that I felt deserved more respect than they received. Should they be degrated for such concerns?

I've noticed lately that I for one in the past couple weeks have felt I've earned respect then only for it to be pulled out from underneath me.

Firends we are a group of diverse people on here and I'm not going to cover specific threads but I feel everyone deserves respect and because we may post something that is not appropriate for some may be completely appropriate for others.

Just be careful before we speak, and only post if that's how you would want to be treated and judged.

Good day.

Sometimes things are not what they seem. Sometimes, people are friends and give each other ribbing's that look, well, disrespectful to some, while it is all in good fun.

But yes, everyone should respect one another until that person is proven to be un-respectable

Good post Bobo

K-Town it's nothing personal that happened to me. It's what I read on here towards others!

Plus nobody was posting so I figured why not. It had been on my mind so I kinda laid it out for discussion.

I think that every person on TBH deserves respect; however, I think that people that have been around longer and contributed more to TBH (over the long haul) will get a little bit more leeway when a situation comes up.

Perception. It's all about perception!

Years of careful research have yielded these results on internet message board posting.

I don't worry about respect. It's way too difficult to read the proper tone of the typed word so it's best just to roll with it.

People will make fun of each other just like deer camp. It's part of why this board is so sucessful. (ask our very own moderator Les) I frequently poke at people I have never met in the name of "campfire fellowship". It does not mean I don't respect them. In fact, it means quite the opposite... that I find them interesting enough to jack with on a personal level.

I worry more that someone I care about is out here posting something that I miss. After all, it is impossible to follow every thread (well, for most of us it is impossible)

In the "good old days" it wasn't too difficult to stay on top of things but those days are long gone. But I guess that's a good thing in many ways...

I don't hang out much on other boards so I can't compare, but it has been my repeated experience that TBH is family and like family, things can get a bit sideways, but in the end we are still family.

My favorite Longhorn nailed it!

I agree with Legdog, you'd have to beon here 24/7 to keep up with everything. In the past, it was not that way, you could visit every other day and still stay in the loop.

Some of us have to work!

My definition....

I be respectful to others, because it was the way I was raised.

I gain respect from my actions.
