Respect should be given. To claim that someone must earn it is just an excuse to dehumanize them by denying them respect.

---

If you give everyone respect, what point is there in competition? If you accept that people must earn respect first, only the strong will actually do so. Also depends on what particular achievements you grow to respect, etc.

So far, everyone totally fails to see the obvious, with very few exceptions.

that you are a complete ass hole?

An ass hole that kicks your ass day in, day out.

How does it feel, to be an ass hole kick bag?

Play the game any way you want, give respect or not it's up to.

It's funny how molle tells his corp member off for making the thread when they were clearly giving their own opinion, it's also funny that although BOB leaders will say you earn respect, you will never earn the respect of BOB no matter what you do.

If anyone didn't notice, a BoB member started a thread that wasn't quite in line with the current BoB policy of "You all suck".

To remedy this, Molle and a few others are just stirring you all around, highjacking the thread to get everyone arguing and bickering again.

Nope, the goal in this game, for me, is to have fun.

And I thank you, Beringe, for right now I am laughing out loud.

Whether it is AT you, or WITH you, I am not yet sure,

---

We all have our way to have fun, I guess. I blame the internet syndrome, personally.

That said, would you say that this outlook describes the majority of BoB pilots in general--or at least something that you strive for?

---

I would say the vast majority of BoB respect people who have given reason to be respected, and disrespect those who act in such away that respect is impossible.
That is probably true for the vast majority of Eve players tbh.

What is really in question is the respect status of those who you have never interacted with.
Some people say everyone should have respect until they lose it.
Others that everyone should have to earn respect.

Now, no matter how much you try and draw me, there is no way I could answer as to the position of the majority of BoB, or Eve in general.

Personally, I only give respect to those who have shown some reason for it.
That doesn't mean I disrespect those who have not proven themselves.
No respect for someone is not the same as disrespect.

I tend to take people as I find them.

The amount of people I actually disrespect in Eve is tiny, and each of those people has earned that position in my eyes.
I have varying levels of respect for the people I have interacted with in Eve.
I have no respect for the people in Eve I haven't interacted with.
I don't disrespect them, I just choose to reserve judgement until I know what they are like.

Not respecting someone does not mean I would not show them common courtesy, and judge them with an open mind when I first meet them.

I hope you understand the distinction I am trying to make.
