  Dammit does this place ever need a group hug.

  It shows a lack of respect to hijack someone else's thread.

  It shows even less respect to steal an idea from a thread you hijacked to start your own.

  Just food for thought,

  edited to add: I will post here afterall.

  I want to say that I respect you Snakes I just do not like the way you think at this time in your growth away from the Organization.

  I do not have the energy to dissect it with you as you have personality traits that are very difficult for my personality traits to deal with . Thus my not responding to you pm's.

  If you want to know what traits I find difficult, I will tell you openly on the board not in pm.

  Sometimes in our journey through life in wanting to be RIGHT and Respected, we alienate people and do not form friendships. There always seems to be a sacrifice to gain something. We make those choices.

  There are many posters I respect but don't particulary like. Some over time the level of respect for posters has gone up or down after getting to know them.

  That's the nature of respect.

  It's much easier to respect someone we don't like, than to like someone we don't respect.

  There is common courtesy, which is the action aspect of respect we give to strangers and people of authority,

  like the resepct we give to mods and board owner and people we do not know on the board.

  Showing respect for people and

  having respect for someone are two entirely different things.

  It is easy to show respect to someone we do not like. Much harder to have respect for them, but not impossible.

  We show respect to those who demand it, like police officers,and political leaders for example.

  That one we do out of obligation.

  Having respect, the deep personalized kind, stems from the knowledge and admiration we have for someone that we know personally...

  That type of respect is earned little by little over time, not granted. That type of respect is unique and special and individual.

  It is not given out lightly, or immediately and is not taken away for trivial reasons.

  Sometimes in our journey through life in wanting to be RIGHT and Respected, we alienate people and do not form friendships. There always seems to be a sacrifice to gain something. We make those choices.

  Forget respect. At this moment I'll settle for a Coors light.
