I give basic consideration to those I come in contact with. My respect must be earned, either self evident inner strength, or obvious sacrifice. All that equals my trust in the individual, hence, my respect.
I respect ALL military veterans especially my Father's generation (WW2), as well as my generation's (Vietnam).
I respect handicapped people of all types who overcome obstacles.
I respect those who, through conversation, provide my with noteworthy insights into life's path.

I love being a part of this community that is Lit. 
I respect you Dillinger, you are an important member of the community I love. I am proud to call you friend.
Be well. In body, soul and in mind. You are a true champion and all round cool dude.
Each person brings a little of themselves to our
community. Each person is unique in their
own way.
I try not to feed the trolls and if I respond to them
it is because I cannot watch people being flamed
and being disrespected.
Being a part of this community is a pleasure most of the time. All communities have their ups and downs. And laughter, tears, and happiness.
But most of us band together and lend support when any of us have needed help.
We become important to one another. Sometimes there are
disagreements, moaning and groaning but I know that if I need
my friends at Lit they will be there for me and I for them.
Yes, this is the internet but true friendships are formed.
Thank you Dillinger. You speak wisely. I nod in agreement
with what you have said and walk away thoughtfully.

Dillinger not just because of what you said or how you said it but because it's what is in my heart, I here and now put my stake in the ground right beside your's. I agree with what you eloquently put down here. I have in the past retorted back at the trolls but generally only in defense of my friends. I do not post to them just to tell them to shut up I find that meaningless and just serves to keep that thread on the front page even longer.
I am glad you are here with us and I hope whatever your illness that you beat it. I truly hope you consider me a friend because I definetely feel that you are among mine. Thanks for sharing your feelings thoughts with us and don't ever stop!

My mother used to say: Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never harm me.
But words can hurt, they bruise all of us at some time.
We just have to remember to do unto others as we would have them do unto us

Dilly,
You did this with the style and grace we all have come to expect from you. Thank you for saying what we all have been thinking.
*Smile*
I have been appalled at what I have seen happening on this board lately, and even more appalled that so many were letting it happen. Myself, included. Maybe we thought it was easier just to bypass that thread, and let them fight their own battles. But after a while, there were too many of those threads to keep ignoring. There comes a time, though, where it is no longer forgiveable to stand by and let the people we know and love, and even those we have yet to know, be hurt by someone with harsh words, and asinine judgements.
We will always have disagreements here, and no one is saying we should all turn into the Brady Bunch. But if you are going to disagree with someone, try to be a little more graceful about it, and remember, people in here will stand up for those wrongly attacked, whether we interact with them or not. Choose your words wisely.
I hated seeing Dilly as upset as he was, and realized, for him to come out with both barrels blazing, things were bad. But, just like with some of my patients, just as you think you have lost them, something happens and they turn around. This, I think, will happen here. So all those lurkers, or those just getting a feel for the place, this is a great place, despite what our cover has been showing lately. Stick around and enjoy getting to know the people here.
*Hugs* Dilly..Melanie Lee.

As a newbie I feel privileged to participate. The following link has some meat in it for how families behave, and, ergo, communities. There are clearly giants here in Lit, and a lot of quality. Thanks Dillinger.

I completely agree with Dillinger.
Although I am one of the newest of the "newbies" around here. this Forum is just like anyother place, real or electronic. There are people here that you admire and others that you just wonder where the hell they came from.
I give as good as i get. I always have and i always will. That is just me. I give the same respect I am given. If you choose not to give me any then you recieve none from me.
Having been here for only a few days, I must say that I am impressed with the ammount of well wishers and "respect" that I have been given. I am sorry that a few out there try to ruin it for us. Dont let it get you down. Enjoy your friends. Revel in them. Love them. Appreciate them. And most of all TELL THEM how much you appreciate them. It is worth putting up with a thousand assholes to have the company of one "True Friend"

While a few people on here I do not respect, Dillinger included, I do agree with what he said. I've gotten into tiffs with a couple of people on the board here, but you know what? SOmehow it got resolved through PM. Point in case, look at how Jazz and I interact now. Or plasticman and I for that matter. Yep, it's definitly about perspective and how you carry yourself. With that I completely agree.

You don't respect Dillinger? Why not? What did he do to you? Have you even searched and read what he has to say on this board? Or have you jumped to conclusions?

This is SweetBrat73...I'm just to lazy at the moment to sign him out and me in...things are moving to slow...ok that said...
Alot of ppl here do have my respect, but there are a few that have offended me greatly by saying things that made me lose all respect for them, due to the fact I done something they do often on these boards. Anyway, I agree that ppl should be treated with respect...those that deserve it anyhow. I'm not going to disrespect a person just because their opinions are different than mine. I hope this thread makes some of the ppl here (oldies and newbies) see how they have been acting and they change for the better.
Good thread Dill!!!

Well, as I am not as inclined as Lavender to go back and find the posts that would substantiate my lack of respect for Dillinger, if you want to read the posts, I am sure you'll find it somewhere. Or ask *bratcat* She may remember where it happened. In short though he had made quips and jabs at me and didn't even bother to know me or where I was coming from.Unregistered said:

Those that were caught up in the "fight" (for lack of a better word) please take a look at the thread again - BasilDD has been back and explained why he did what he did the way he did it...
(ok so alot of you may not agree with his tactics)
It makes alot of sense (at least to me) - please give it a read then maybe we can do what Dillinger has asked and put all this unpleasentness on the boards to rest...
Thanx

I'm with ya Dill!
It all boils down to one basic premise, treat others as you would like to be treated!
I've been guilty of responding to trolls, out of anger, which only perpetuates the nastyness. Trolls seek attention, be it positive or negative. As a community, it's like trying to rid our neighborhood of vandals, but as a neighborhood we have the power of numbers and mutual welfare on our side. United we can protect the entire community.

Thank you, Dillinger. I read and lurked for a long time before regestering and your threads were always one of those I read without fail. Respect and consideration , combined with fun and flirting make this neighborhood a great one to call home. Keep this up at the top, everyone needs to read it.
