Are all poster's at AFF on an equal level of deser

[COOPER]

Should any poster deserve more respect than the other?

Are we all equal on a forum?

Should one have "Hush power" over the other?

Should one be allowed to insult, tear down and bash over the other?

Actually I edited the post after you quoted...

I don't think anyone should be DISrespected... as in openly treated with disrespect...

But there are people who have earned that my view of what they have to say is one that causes me to generally ignore what they have to say.

The have demonstrated to me that their thought process is almost always outside the realm of anything I care to discuss so I pay them no mind because of my lack of respect for what they think and, most often, the way they choose vocalize said thought.

I would not, generally, openly disrespect them but I sit here quietly having no respect for what they have to say.

Agreed. We should treat everyone with respect, but if you want me to truly respect you, it must be earned.

You know, I'm really sick of the above statement.

Its not biblical.

In fact, the exact opposite is biblical.

ALL men and women deserve respect. Christian or non-christian. They don't have to earn it.

You don't have to respect their actions, their opinions, their ideas, etc. but you DO have to respect them as fellow human beings created in the image and likeness of God, same as YOU!

You can't love someone you don't respect and Jesus said we are to love everyone.

reading your post I felt a confident agreement in my spirit.

I also had a thought....
the scripture you alluded to was likely:
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

could it be that our lack of love one to another is because we do NOT feel loved by our Lord?
