I tend to agree too with the decreasing respect out there.... and +1 on "I think it's a fantastic resource and source of entertainment. But if people are afraid to ask questions or make new posts for fear of getting slammed by a particular group (and yes, they exist everywhere), then they simply won't post." We just have to be aware that we are all rookies in one aspect or another... even if sometimes, we forget it... "treat others like you would like to be treated" comes to mind as a nutshell...
