So, what is this nifty "respect" rating in the member profiles...

[peteski]

...and how does one earn these?  I noticed some members of TRW crew have a head start over the rest of the schmucks here.

What... you feeling like Rodney Dangerfield?

This is something some are currently testing, and it'll be rolled out soon.  You will have the ability to vote a + or - on a post.

Ah, so it is the silly karma rating coming back under a more serious sounding name (and lumped into a single positive/negative value).  Rolling my eyes....

I know my personality - I don't need others to tell me how I am.    I can just see lynch crowds of members killing the respect ratings of some member.

But, we so enjoy it, Pete.

I imagine you're the only one who's worried about that.

These seem to be things that Skip, Fran and Sluggo would be in favor of...

It's not like it will turn into this.

I fear stuff like that every day.
Not so much on here, but it has happened elsewhere.
Thing is, with me it has always been unprovoked. People have literally attacked me for no good reason.

My thing is that I have a huge fear of being misunderstood because I have trouble articulating my thoughts fully.

That's because it's so easy to attack others, especially when it's from the safety of your keyboard and made anonymously.  Make people accountable, and that will minimize the problem.

Neah, I'm not afraid.  Besides, since I had to live with myself all my life,  I'm well aware of my effervescent personality.   

I simply think that any karma/respect/etc. ratings on forums are silly (because as it has been mentioned, they are given anonymously).  Internet is really good for that.

Sounds a lot like eBay to me!
