Courtesy: n. 1. Courteous behavior. 2. A polite or considerate act or remark.

Respect: vt. 1. To feel or show honor or esteem for. 2. To show consideration for. n. 1. Honor or esteem. 2. Consideration; regard. 3. Expression of regard.

They are very meaningful words and actions, everyone deserves to one degree or the other, both. So why is it so hard for some people to do? The world may never know. The Rules that have been made and enforced in this forum comes from both them words just because some people do not wish to Respect anyone or show anyone Courtesy. However when the rules have to be enforced it funny to me that now that same person for whom broke these rules and ideas cries wolf and demands both of them.

It been said since the beginning of time, if you disrespect people then don't expect to get any Respect. If you do not show Courtesy, don't expect to receive it in return.

Courtesy is something you extend to someone the first time you meet them.

Respect is earned and lost by one's actions.
Not everyone here deserves respect.

Well since I have'nt posted to any of these threads I guess I'll throw my .02 in here.  David_H is on the right track you earn respect it is not given you just because your human.  Good God people this is an adult board you have to be 18 to buy a rifle, the way some of you yell you'd think you'd never seen a nude female!  While on that note I don't think it's appropriate to post one here, but for crying out loud every female on the planet has those things, hell I thought that's what the links were for.  I'm stopping before I get too wound up.  That's it and that's all from me.[;)]

Large ego's usually prevent the extension of courtesy or respect to others!
