Are you a respected member?

I believe the "Respect is earned, not given" would apply here. The post count of any person here would play a huge part in determining if the member is "respected". The way one carries themselves in any form of communication either spoken directly or typed is a factor in the level of intellect of the person who says something to another person. One who would come on here and constantly use hurtful words against others would end up getting banned from these forums and would deserve to. I personally believe that most of the people out here are very good people who would give you the shirt off their back if needed. It is all in how you represent yourself.You can gauge the person out here based on the number of posts and the quality of the post content as to how that persons ability to communicate. Caring and consideration for one another is paramount in earning respect. Great Question, Thanks for posting it.
