So newcomers are only to be treated respectfully after they have earned it? Wow. I'm certainly glad that the world in general does not subscribe to this philosophy. However, your statement does indeed explain the "atmosphere" of this forum.
And just in case there is any misunderstanding, I do indeed disagree. I believe that everyone (and especially newcomers) are entitled to be treated respectfully. I'm aware that there are people who don't feel that way. However, I frankly find it a little disturbing when someone so freely admits to it!
