How do you gain respect on these forums? - Page 7 - AcuraLegend.Org - The Acura Legend Forum for All Generations of the Honda / Acura Legend; 1986 to Present

Hey Josh, my names Josh too. Don't know you but If you respect yourself, then I respect you. From what I hear you make some pretty wicked DIY's and you are a wicked auto body boy. IIRC you are younger than me, us young men have to to some stuff to be able to hold our own with the....more experienced "parental members"

. If you're older then me, disregard the previous statement. I often wonder the same thing as you, but It doesn't bother me. People are entitled to their opinion of me and as far as I'm concerned, If I'm happy with myself then that is all that really matters. You can't please everyone and respect is earned, not given. I respect those who respect me. Like a friend once told me, just keep it rollin.

Umm... back on topic? Making LegendLand feel better?

Dude, my take is this: respect is earned, not entitled. To me, you already earned respect on this forum by actually loving your Legend, having worked on it yourself, brought it into the great condition it is now compared to before, AND sharing with other members.

As far as personalities, each one of us is different. Some are brash, straight shooter, politically correct, blunt, shy, shameless, joker, serious, sensitive, oblivious, etc. I think you're the serious and sensitive type. Nothing wrong with that. It shows that you're a responsible person. As long as there are no personal attacks directed towards you, just sail along... and if there is, you can share with the community... we love drama!

Having that said, now the more difficult part is to maintain what you've earned. I don't think you'll have a problem with it though... keep up the good work, Josh!

Wow... I would multiquote but it would take me forever.

^ but you are right. I am more of a quiet, serious, and sensitive sort of person I suppose. That's probably why I feel this way.

I actually didn't start this thread so it would be a "make me feel better" thread but that is exactly what it has done.

As for Russian, it's not that I don't like the guy, he seems ok, I don't know him well, but it's just that his personality rubs me the wrong way every once in a while. What really gets me is when you spend like 500 dollars on a mod or something and everyone else loves it and Russian comes in and says: "I hate it" or "get rid of it"or something to that effect. I try not to let it get to me but sometimes it's really hard. That's all.

I thank each and every one of you for your input on this thread. I got about 50 more comments than I thought I would. Now I know that you guys actually do care and don't think about me as the little "pebble in their shoe".

Thank you guys for everything.
Now I know that this is really the place to be

if you poop in the cereal of the owners of commie land you get much respect.

The Crowing · 10-15-2009, 12:50 PM

Everyone has their opinions, but only you have your taste.

If we all listened to everyone else, all our cars would look the same.

Oh wait, most of them do.

I put a damn hood scoop and 3KGT spoiler on my car. I loved it, and I even MADE a few others love it.

Do what makes you happy, and you will have my respect (which you do, no worries)

I'm not really a post whore and I give help when I can, even though I don't know a ton about the mechanical aspect of our cars... And I'm not a noob anymore by any means. I don't get it.

Just askin'

Just have fun on the forums. Converse, and get info, and when you can share info.

Don't EVER worry about your "e-respect" as thats about as important as winning a fourm arguement.

You get along with some people, and some people you don't. Its the same for just about every single person on any message board/forum.

There are people who just chap my hide at times, but I've learned to keep my mouth shut, as I'm sure I've chapped afew hides myself.

Be yourself and have a good time!!!!
