Treat Others the Way You Want to be Treated

[COWS4YOU]

I made this topic for a Chat Thread this week, but I feel that it warrants a reminder for all as I know that not everyone posts on the Chat Thread and therefore may not have read it. Not only does this apply in the Chat Thread, but it applies to all over the forum too. Here it is:

R E S P E C T this April 5th Chat Thread
Why did I pick this title for this Chat Thread? Lately there have been arguments, spam and just not being nice to each other going on the Chat Thread. Does a post count number make you who you are? Is it the color of your REP or how many boxes determine if you are a good person? No it does not. It is how you treat others. I like to think of us as all friends here.

• Since you and your friends aren't clones, you will disagree sometimes!
• Is it really worth fighting over? If it's trivial, or you're not going to agree no matter what, why not give it up? Agree to disagree and move on.
• Friends have differences of opinion without putting each other down.
• Even if you'll never agree - try to see the other person's viewpoint. At least honor his right to have his own opinions.

So please remember that when you make a random spam post just so that you can get post count to be the top poster, what exactly does that accomplish? When you ignore someone that has joined in on the DCT, what exactly does that say about you? When you start arguing with someone, what does that say about you as a friend? Be open to new friendships. You never know when the "next BFF" is going to come along. I wish that everyone today treats others nicely and you treat others the way you want to be treated. You would be amazed at the number of great friends you will find on this DCT, let alone on the forum. Just remember that behind that username, avatar, stars & REP boxes could be your next BFF, so why not try to talk to them and see what they like to do.
