We all need respect and manners
I don't want to offend anyone but I would like to talk about a subject that needs to be mention and that is respect and manners. Some members here have been talking about respecting others in this platform.
We all need to have manners and respect others for we have lost those things. WA is worth the effort of those things, This is something that our parents taught us when we were little. We were taught to say Thank you, please, yes ma'ma and yes sir.
In this generation today don't seem to have those manners or respect. If you, don't respect others how to do expect to get respect. The same as if you don't respect yourself others won't respect you. This is an important matter and it needs to be talked about.
Because this platform is based on those things such as respect, values and morals and we can't lose those things here. Kyle and Carson has worked hard to build such a platform and we can't ruin that,
We have to respect other's opinion and not be harsh, You have to be polite and use proper manners that we were taught with. People will appreciate that a lot more and you will get a better response from other people.
You want to treat people they way you want to be treated. I am by no means telling you how to act but a little respect goes along way. Many people demand that respect but you can't do that either because if you don't respect others they are not going to respect you.
I am just trying to help you all out by saying that respect and manners are important and that needs to be more of it here at WA. Please respect others and they will respect you. Be polite and others will be polite with you.
If you should have a problem with another person on this platform PM them and chat with them and find out what the problem is don't use the reply area to bring this out. Have respect for others and quietly talk with that person.
You will see the differences when you use manners and respect. People will treat you a lot better if you treat them better. This is a wonderful platform as we all know and we should keep it that way. We are here to help each other not put each other down.

Like minded people such as the WA community are good at respect and manners towards each other. It's when people have a difference of opinion that this becomes a issue.
Just look at the US political environment.
This is why it is very important to follow the WA rules and practices.
thanks for posting.
You are absolutely right but remember there is always one bad apple in the bunch and that will cause a domino effect though too. We have to stay on top of things and I don't think that Kyle or Carson will let anything happen here. They both have worked hard to provide this type of platform so we can enjoy and have fun here.

Thank you Mary.
These values have been slipping away from us over the last few decades and we can all use a friendly reminder now and then.
My observation of this community in the short time that I've been here is that it is generally positive, helpful and upbuilding, thanks to the founders. This does not happen by accident.
Let's all continue to work hard together as a community to keep it that way, please.
You are so very welcome and yes you are right it has been slipping away for a long time and with the present generation is no help.
Yes, we have to keep the community in check as well so we don't run into a problem such as this. This community is great and we need to be polite and respectful.
Kyle and Carson will not let this community fall by the waste side.

Hi Mary,
As an adult, we all know this - 'treat people as you would like to be treated' which I have no doubt it syncs with the essence of you post. Thanks for sharing your thought. I also believe if there was incident that you related this post to, we should share it without naming anybody. It's for the betterment of the platform and its community. Hope everything is well.

The reason for this post is some of the members have been talking about this issue and I thought that I would write a post about this to bring this issue out to the forefront to let the other members aware of this issue. That is why I wrote this post. Everything is well and thank you for asking I appreciate that.

I'm guessing that this post was inspired by something you either experienced or read. Sorry that happened to you. I've only been disrespected by one person here, and out of over 1 million members, that ain't bad! Unfortunately there will always be people who had bad parents who never taught them to respect others. It's life. But I personally will always strive to be respectful and kind.
What had inspired me to write this blog was some of the other members have been talking about this issue and I thought that it needed to be brought out on the forefront to make it known so other members were aware of the issue.
It is just a shame that people can't respect others and it is not right. We have to earn respect but how can you earn something when you don't have it yourself.
Mary
Thank you Mary, we really have to have these.
We all need to be respected as persons, as unique individuals. In order to accord respect we should understand their culture: how they talk, how they express themselves.
Sometimes we misunderstand people who seem to be rude but actually they are not.
In our own community, it is our culture to call our parents in their names, however, that does not mean that it's a disrespectful way of living. We were born in that way and we treat that as a normal way of our living together as a community.
Here, sometimes I talk, I write as if I'm not respectful but in my heart I love people and I teach them to respect life.
Absolutely we have to respect all persons because it is supposed to be the way of life but in this day and age we don't have respect anymore and that is not the right thing to do.
What I was trying to say is in this day and age this generation does not have the respect like what we had as we were growing up. There are many things that this generation doesn't have that we do.
That don't have values, moral, or respect for themselves or for others. They need that because they are not going to get very far like this.

That's a universal truth Mary. Children of this age do what they want and most don't want to hear pieces of advice from the elderly. Sometimes they say, that is already obsolete.
In the 1960s when I was a child An elderly whether literate or not they have the authority, now the youngsters have that authority saying, you know nothing.
You have hit the nail on the head that is what I am talking about kids today don't have values, morals or respect for themselves. I want to know what happened to all those things how did they got lost somehow.
Somehow these kids don't know anything until it is too late and that is not good. You have to have these things to become a solid person in society.
Somehow the parents have forgotten to teach their kids about these things and that is why they don't have them.
Mary
Yes, they do but in today day in age, most of the parents are not doing that because they themselves don't have those values, morals, or respect.
How can you teach someone else about these things when you don't know them yourselves.
Mary
Your absolutely right.. Its challenging enough trying to build your website, without that. ITs common courtesy. By the way, is it okay if i ask what your niche is?(I dont want to steal ideas, just wondering, he he).
Yes, my niche is about pets (dogs and cats) check out my site if you like I would appreciate that.
We all need to practice the common courtesy it is just that plain and simple.
I wholeheartedly agree, Mary! Well said---as usual. :) We need to respect one another and maintain a respectful atmosphere in this community. Kyle and Carson have put their hearts and souls into creating this great place for us. So out of respect for them, that's the very least we can do. :)
Thank you for the post!

You are so very welcome. I thought about this post because some of the members have been talking about this so I thought that I would write about this topic.
It needed to be addressed because this is becoming a problem and we need to bring it up to nip it in the bud before it gets worse.
Thank you for commenting on the post I really appreciate that.
