I guess I feel as though everyone here deserves respect. There is no reason to personally insult anyone that comes here, long time memeber, breeder or a day or two new to YT.

Although I might not be a long time member, I am not a child and I will not bite my tounge if anyone is insulting me, no matter how long they have been posting in this paticular forum.

I have seen people be nasty on both ends here.
And that is exactly what the post implys.

But, respect is not a right, it is earned. And each of us; new or seasoned do not deserve to be attacked because one does not agree with us.

We are all valued as members; how we retain that membership is how we comport ourselves and interact with other members.

No one should be at the other end of unprovoked attack. But, retaliating in a combative manner only adds fuel to the fire. There are methods to right the situation; by either answering an attack in an adult manner, putting that person on ignore, or reporting the situation to admin. These are options and in no way advising anyone on how to conduct themselves, neither was it the OP intention. Just a post to impose provoke thought in each and everyone of us.
