This is a false statement Feniks... sorry mate.
Respect is earned and is often a one way street. The new addition to a team doesnt hold the respect of the rest until it is in fact earned. And he cant hope to earn it without first showing it to the veterans of the team. The definition of the word is clear, unfortunately lost in todays day and age. Too many think they are entitled to respect when they've done nothing to earn it. So... they default to not showing any to those deserving and in turn only make it harder on themselves to receive any.
re·spect
rəˈspekt/Submit
noun
1.
a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.
Disagree completely. That new player you speak of will never give respect if he is constantly harassed and denigrated simply because he is the "new guy".
#1 Veterans don't deserve respect simply because they are veterans.
#2 Personal respect has nothing to do with abilities. If you are respecting individual abilities, you are not respecting the person.
Like PRO just said, he went about this about as respectfully as he could. He wanted a port to raise a flag on the board. He made his intent clear from the onset and gave options.
What was the response? Name calling and denigration.
Which one deserves respect here?
Does Danik deserve respect simply because he has been here longer?
That is the false statement....
