Respect is earned

Yes it is.

So why do you have the right to demand special treatment when you just got here?

Normad.... Many members start off scared and in a bad position here.. But if they stick around, learn the ropes and just keep going they usually find a way to fit in. It's really beneficial in the long run, cos we usually form a tight bond with each other.

Im sad to see you upset over all this though. In all honesty, no one has been really mean to you. A lot of people here had it much worse, and they still stuck around, and now it's all fine. If you're not gonna stay, at least take our advice for the next forum you visit :) It could pay off.

already 3 and a half years here in OWF and I am still scared of you guys. also I feel that I am not really part of this community.

See, he gets it. That's how you respond to everything here. A blunt, capitalised rebuttal.

I can sum up everyone's feelings about you in one sentence: We don't want you to go, but if you choose to stay you're going to have to treat other members with respect, and that includes posting in the way that they want you to post.

I think a good few people here do want him to go.

Respect is earned

And I assure you everyone here has earned a great deal of respect from me for trying to deal with you patiently.

We see that you have potential to be a good member and are trying to teach you how to fit in and express yourself clearly!

We have to use that as the go-to line for all newbies who make a scene. Though I think this one's a lost cause.

Actually, we should compile a list of trainwreck welcome threads, so we can link new guys to them. "Here, these are some things you should avoid doing. Welcome."

I feel the same way.

About you, I mean.

I want to kill all of you. But in a nice way.
