Who do you have the most respect for on 'TheSite' ? And Why?
Same goes for who you have the least respect for, e.g. disagree the most with that persons' views in many things.
Moderators Excluded!
Now, I know when I ask questions like this; I'm suppose to answer it myself - but since I'm still new to all this, I haven't officially made my mind up... though Dr. Lurve is close coz he stood up for me.... ahh, my Hero
And that Kermit fella was mean to me before for no valid reason so, least repect for that person.

So anyway...the people I respect on Thesite are the good listeners. The people that take time to read what others have said, and voice their opinion taking other view points into account. The ones who give good advice, and aren't afraid to be different, and say what they think, not just joining in to be 'cool' and liked.
The people I don't have respect for are the opposite to the above. The buggers who can't be bothered to listen/read what others have said, and don't think before they say things. Some people have their head stuck too far up their own arse...and other peoples arses for that matter. It's the people that can't think for themselves, just follow everyone else and don't use their pea-sized brain that annoy me.
Im sure you can think of the people that fit into them catagories...
I have to say I think kaffrin speaks wise words of wisdom in alot of her posts and is very helpfull even if we disagree alot. All off her posts have good resourcefull information.
kermit, I've only seens a few of his posts but he seems to be a good poster and does seem to make good points in his posts.
then there the people who post good quality posts, these include people like Byny, tweety and alot other posters(there are more quality posters than this, you can't really say one siters better or deserves more respect than another as it's like a comunity and everyone has there bad and good points..
I know people will respect others more than other people but I think that they all contribute to thesite:)
then theres my personal thread on there that I respect - cute baby bear, hermonie, franki aka lil miss socks and of course kwiss (not a regular though)
sorry if you didn't get a mention, I proberly didn't think of your name at the time but your prob under others
and before you ask.. yes luby course I repect ya.. your a good friend..
woa.. I got a mention...
But you shouldn't show anyone lack of respect due to varying opinions or certaina ctions they have taken because everyone is different.
In conclusion, everyone can be kool at times and everyone can be shite at times (although some fit into either category more than the other).
I respect a lot of people in the Drugs forum, because their advice can be invaluable and can actually save lives.
I agree with you, i think this covers how i feel about people on thesite.
People will moan if they didnt get a mention or make silly comments if they did get a mention or somet...
And yes i can think of several people who fit into both categories that you mentioned...
Appreciate how you're trying to be all very considerate to how other people will react... but it's a harmless question -
Too late to spare other peoples feelings. I've read the posts on this site long enough before I joined. You can all be ruthless when you want to be. So what's stopping you now?
Just wondered who you would look up to on here... to an extent that you share the same opinions or admire for the way they stand up for what they believe in... or simply coz you like that person. We all like who we respect and vice'versa.
course you got a mention silly
I respect the people on here who can back up their arguments, those who are obviously intelligent. Aladdin and Man of Kent spring to mind, but both of them can be very pompus. Kermit seems to know a bit too.
I dont respect z0ma, its more a burning hatred.
Things that I least respect is people who pick fights and argue over the silliest little things that are getting them nowhere and just end up pissing off a lot of people in the end anyways.
Ok, will stop rambling on before someone gets pissed at me.
**Edited to add: Don't bitch when your name isn't on there. Mid-way through I realised how long the list could be.
The people I care about and the people who's opinions of me matter at all, well they know who they are. I am totally ambivolent to a large number of people on here though, because I don't know them and they don't know me. That's why I don't understand why people go about hating people on here, or asslicking people. Not that I don't still give them human respect, I just think it's silly.
But yeah, advice givers (still quite cool that people take time to help other people) and folk who make me laugh. You have my respect. I think the self-centered people that I really can't be arsed with, are in the minority. That's a good thing, kids :yes:
Anyway, shutup Brian.
[noog only got in there because he threatened me ]
The people have spoken:D
Like this?;)
I agree but that's got more to do with the fact I don't know people aswell now - I don't come here as much.
Names:
Justin, Lolly, Rubberskin, Balddog, Kermit, Turtle, Elisa - all the drug forum posters especially the likes of Eb, RNT, and Dan the Man.
I have respect for many people. There are people that I respect to such a degree that I disagree with most things they say on most matters, but still put their opinion across in a sensible and (most of the time) reasonable manner. Those people are Aladdin and Kermit.
Then the usual suspects who are just generally nice to people when other people don't give a monkeys - byny, kaffrin, Faith and many more.
There isn't anyone I disrepect as such.
Special mentions go out to my friends on thesite; *groovaybaby* who's helped me straighten out my life, Franki who's just such a cool friend, and loadssssssss more but I can't mention them all it'll take me all day.
I don't respect people who try to get a rise out of people, or who overuse the :rolleyes: smily
And thankyou to those who said my name!
then i have respect for the people who say what they think, and stand by it. even if everyone else thinks they're on crack.
then there are the people who i think i would be friends with if i knew them personally.
I'm not naming any names, but I respect a few who have been mentioned and a few who have not. In a way I respect everyone.
Except you *points*
You didn't ask - You were just being ignorant
But you will of course find a way to call me or whoever else that does it again, a 'plank' was it? Just make yourself stand out and make yourself look like a dumbass which I'm guessing you thrive on. :rolleyes:
And of course that includes me, doesn't it Kaff?
i followed peoples advice but didnt think that me telling everyone i was better now was worth a thread. I thought it was a bit too self centered but I'll take this oppurtunity to say thanks to everyone
