Well you see, respect is earned, as you know. The problem is, people respect different things for different reasons. Hell, people respect the same things for different reasons. Personally, I haven't seen Floorfiller do anything here that would warrant any respect from me. He mostly just laughs at everything, flirts with every woman here, draws pictures in MS paint, knows a lot about music I haven't the slightest interest toward, and most recently, performs his newest Rodney Dangerfield impersonation. Someone else might respect him for any or all of those things. None of them particularly impress me. I make a lot of jokes about myself and others, I know about most music that most here do not, and I...pretend...to be jennypie's bitch. Some respect me for these things, and some do not.

That's just how things work with human beings. If you cannot give without expecting something in return, you will have problems like our friend FloorFiller here. If you don't mind giving and getting nothing in return, at least once in a while, you should do just fine. Since the former will make you look a fool for wanting things you cannot have (like friend Floorfiller), the latter is probably the wisest disposition. Do what you do best and/or do what you wish, do not demand or require respect, and accept the respect that you are given; if you choose to do so and if it matters to you so much that it is given you on an internet forum by people you never have and never will know.

summary: You can't demand respect. You can only command it.

He can earn my respect just like anyone else. Right, now we're equals on these forums. Until he's in a position of authority, then he can earn my respect just like anyone else.


other than that, i treat him with the respect i give everyone else in these forums.

Originally posted by Abhay u know, n00bs have started similiar threads to this. Everyone treated them like shit... but this thread, everyone is taking seriously, and trying to support, except for a select few ppl... wat a bunch of freaking sheep. why should floorfiller be treated differently because he thinks he is or is l337?

And to which group of people would you consider yourself?
fwiw, i don't think earning respect is the issue, its the lack of respect at all. the way you behave doesnt improve anything or anyones cause.

nice one,

point fingers why don't u... I'm sure that's a mark of respect.

how about reading some of my other posts, and making an educated decision first?

I don't consider myself disrespectful to him at all...

I just don't treat him better than anyone else...

WHAT? let me guess... u want special treatment too, because u've been on this site longer than me as well??? I hope not.

CLICK HERE

he's lucky i still respect him...

either way, if he hadn't said what he said in the forum above, i'd still treat him the same way i am now....

don't tell me he's the one that deserves more respect. Read the thread and tell me that i'm the one that needs to be more mature.

He's a hyporcrite... I'll be glad to see him go... but doesn't mean i'm disrespectful to him.

Originally posted by Ang ' ela_ie Thats exactly what his point is. He contributes SO MUCH to this forum, but no one will give these TA's any respect. Grab and go, right guys? Jason doesnt think he's any better than anyone else, hes just looking for some contribution in return, which, as you have so kindly demonstrated, is NONEXISTANT.

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J I still recommend things to people who actually do care about the music, and I still answer questions: I just ignore the laziness and greed of many TAs.

+ 1 tho I hardly browse more then the tracklisting section

* edit * Why did I post in a thread about Africa (I only got the first page)

Last edited by emre on Dec-13-2005 at 13:55

Look man, this is the simple reason why you all should respect Floorfiller

Can anyone from Africa tell me how is the Trance scene out their?

Are their any nice DJs from Africa? (not Ferry Corsten, I mean born and living in Africa)

Are their drugs and raves in Africa?

thanks for reminding me what an idiot you are, makes sense now that you find the correlation between attitude and registration date rather than attitude and intellect.

now did i really say he deserves more respect than you or did i say that all members should be respected on a general basis. i wonder who needs to approve their educational grounds before trying to prove something thats not said.
