tinyE: What the OP is trying to say is that more respect should be paid to those people who are outstanding in their field.
Knowing you I had an inkling what the image would be and I wasn't disappointed, it cracked me up so a +1 to you. ;)

@Liquid

Yeah i know that some stuff looks terrible. And i wondered myself how that was approved by the Leaddesigner because that should be his job to do. Still I respect the work itself by the little designers who have to follow orders. It´s not that they have much creativity left once they have fixed the style what armor design or body shapes have to be included. So I throw my critics at the ones in the Lead positions who completely failed to deliver a "quality" product. It could go on and on what i realy think about this mess but why should I ;)

Still I pity the ones who gave this game a score of 9 out of 10 or 4 out of 5. That is called fraud by default.

I mentioned that sera mutant for a reason too :D
And what was that strange sound she or it made like "arghuwuaha" in a vid where it shot a bow ? Hell the nwn troll voices arent as creepy as that one. Sponsored by your average feminist wish how porn should sound to make it more diverse :D

gunsynd: What happened to all people born are equal???
Don't understand what the OP is trying to say.
If it's all about RESPECT then maybe I'll get the picture.

I was brought up to respect my Elders,Parents,The Law,and ofcourse other People's Property.
Respect is a two way street,just because a person is eg: leader of a Country doesn't to me mean that I need to give them extra respect..I think it's called ''Sucking up''

I treat People as they treat me.Be disrespectful and expect a smack in the mouth..
If this is what OP is trying to say I'm not sure,If I'm wrong then I apoligise :-)
I feel the same generally with what you say. Got to be respectful to get it. I would rather spend my time with a nobody that is polite and honest and just wants to have a good time then some douchey famous person and such.

Sucking up is when you excessively kiss someone's ass to gain something. For example, at every work place, there are always people who suck up to the boss. Respecting those who deserve respect is not sucking up. Should you respect those who don't respect you? That is something, I don't feel like going into, right now.

awalterj: An obvious case of power perceived is power achieved. It works the same for high/low voted posts in the forum. Many people just click to vote up an already high rated post or vote down an already low rated post without even giving personal thought to it. It's OK to have an opinion but it should be your own. It's so painfully obvious, and yet this happens again and again, and again.

Since humans are tribal animals I suspect most people can't function in horizontal power structures, thus we have vertical structures. The BS starts in elementary school. You can opt out and do your own thing but it's difficult when one has to cooperate on a project or some such and the tribe members look up to their tribal leader instead of just laying out all the options and choosing the most reasonable course of action. Later on when everyone is grown up, nothing changes. People still vote for the tribe leader type even if that person knows jack. That's why even direct democracy, the possibly best non-theoretical system, is subject to serious flaws due to the effectiveness of populist rhetoric and inevitability of BS. If you don't play the rhetoric game, you can forget about getting people to listen to you, even if you have most or even all the arguments on your side.
I hadn't heard the Power Perceived is Power Achieved thing, though I had heard a related line about people "faking it until they make it" - which I have no respect for personally. Irritates me to see that type taken seriously, since they are have little honesty or skill, and all their smarts seem directed toward manipulations, threats, poses, flattery, and seductions - but I've seen that work for some, for awhile. Always seems to fail them at some point. Never soon enough to suit me when it happens, but yeah. People can be rather shallow, and tend to follow the dancing fellow holding the big flashy sign instead of thinking carefully about what is going on or what the best decision would be.

ET3D: And yes, people who can formulate their thoughts in a way that's understandable by others are often given more respect than those who can't.

I feel like I need to bookmark this thread for the next time we get a joker who fancies themselves to be the voice and embodiment of everyone on GOG (or all gamers in general).

Ladies. Gentlemen. I think I've got it.

What if...The gaming community erects a gaming community college? This way, one's prestige can accurately be gauged through rigorous training in the scope of hand-eye entertainment. The graduates will move on (or shall we say, 'level up' ah? ah?) as video game wizards.

If that title doesn't earn your respect, then get off my internet.

R8V9F5A2: Why are people who seem the least passionate and interested in video games the ones given the most respect and authority in the gaming community ?
Who is this about?

if they parlay their GCC credits into Ivy degrees I don't see why they shouldn't be lauded as true wizards. no moron ever graduated from oh say Yale.
