Very well said! I am also a newbie and highly respect the pros! I think this is a great reminder to everyone (seasoned members and newbies alike) that things can be debated and discussed without hurling insults, being mean and resorting to personal attacks! If we want respect we need to learn how to give it first! There is always a way to express our thoughts and opinions (even the most difficult ones) in a way that respects the other person's right to their opinion whether or not we agree with it. Giving respect does not mean you condone bad behavior or agree with what the other person is saying and by responding in a respectful manner it most always causes someone to stop and listen to the advice given! Thank you for this reminder! I will keep it all in mind as I am posting! I appreciate your willingness to share this with us! Have a great day! |
