You making me think of the Daily Affirmation With Stuart SmalleyGreat thread, Robert. People need to read this.
Me personally, I've never had a problem getting respect here.

That was good, just like what we talked about.I hope you will allow me a moment to remind all of us here of the importance of respecting each other as fellow Cowboys fans….
When each of us signed up to be a part of this great forum, we agreed to follow its guiding rules. Three of the most important of those rules are as follows:
#8 - You will not personally attack or insult other members.This is a forum. Which means it is purposely and intentionally designed to provide an opportunity for all to offer a variety of opinions. Like all opinion forums, having one set of common views is not going to happen. In fact the variety of opinions are what makes this place work!
#9 - You will not troll or antagonize other members.
#10 - You will not stalk or continuously harass other members.
Let me make a serious suggestion for anyone who lowers themselves below the standard we have set for mutual respect around here: When someone posts something you disagree with, tell them why you disagree, WITHOUT THE NAME CALLING AND INSULTS. It’s that simple. You can say, “Here’s where I disagree…” or “I think you’re wrong about ____”.
If we allow disrespect, insults, name-calling, etc to happen around here, we are literally destroying this great forum. What makes this place work is not that there is one right way to be a fan of the Dallas Cowboys. This place works because we can disagree without trying to harass, demean or disrespect our fellow fans.
I love this forum and respect everyone who takes the time to offer their opinions- even those I disagree with. If we’re going to keep this forum great, we must all do a better job of respecting each other.
lmao, you "hater" *wipes tears from face and looks for more posts to cry about haters*You are the main culprit he's talking about.
*I've seemingly been getting tagged as of late, by someone sportin' a hard on hammer ,in concerns fer' my inherently overt FEUDIAN nature ,THO*Thank you. The discipline that is metered out here to people who are harassing members doesn’t show up publicly to all posters. I know we don’t catch all violations, but we do try.

BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAGreat thread, Robert. People need to read this.

This place has certainly gotten more hostile the last year or so. Hope this thread helps the haters rethink themselves.
Uh oh. What happened Bullet? Hahaha.I hope you will allow me a moment to remind all of us here of the importance of respecting each other as fellow Cowboys fans….

Look at this type of post made in this thread....smh....unbelievable.lmao, you "hater" *wipes tears from face and looks for more posts to cry about haters*
So calling a hater a “hater” is name calling? I thought we were all adults here?So the thread calls for an end to name calling yet you call people haters? Not sure how that is helping anything.
Just a few folks lately crossing the respect line with the personal attacks, insults, etc, etc. I think a lot of us are just “hangry” for some real football, lol.Uh oh. What happened Bullet? Hahaha.
A few lately? Sames one's different days.Just a few folks lately crossing the respect line with the personal attacks, insults, etc, etc. I think a lot of us are just “hangry” for some real football, lol.
And to clarify, I like a little salt in the discussion around here as long as it stays a disagreement and not some personal attack. We just have to keep the car between the lines. We can keep it real without the low chop blocks some people seem to resort to.

Ok…That’s a fair question Ninja to give some examples. Here’s some ideas of what I mean. Obviously I can’t use real people as examples but I will try to give some realistic examples.Don’t you think it would help if you gave some specific examples?
The term ‘personally attack and insult’ is very vague and can mean many things to different people.
Is calling someone a ‘hater,’ a ‘homer,’ etc. a personal attack, an insult, or disrespectful? If so, one could easily use software to asterisk out those words. But, that leads to a potentially worse situation. One types ‘You are a hater’ and it shows up as ‘you are a ***** ‘ which looks much worse. Sometimes the cure is worse than the illness. Any supposed cure sounds really, really boring.
Specific examples would maybe provide clarity but my guess is you would open up a can of worms. People would be providing you thousands of examples both pro and counter, of ‘what about this then.’ Good luck trying to navigate through the muddy waters and fog of vagueness.

Fan A says, “When I see the current Cowboys safety depth chart, I see a bottom third of the league group.”
Fan B responds: “When see a post like yours, I see someone who didn’t finish 8th grade.”
That’s obviously oversimplified, but instead of just throwing out cheap shots like that, how about saying something like, “I disagree because….” Or “I totally disagree and here’s my take on why…”. Firing off stuff that’s personal is the line. They key is stay on the topic not the person.
Bottom line, there’s nothing vague about personal attacks or insults. And I like having some salty back and forth around here. I like somebody challenging my opinions. (Well, usually, lol) As long as someone doesn’t get personal, that’s cool. Having a disagreement and talking about like fellow fans who have different perspectives is totally different than putting somebody down.
Hey you and I have had some dust ups and differences. But I appreciate your perspective, even when I think you’re wrong, LOL! I know you are a Cowboys fan and I appreciate that a lot more than our disagreements.
