Thank you.

Most of the people whom I have met from Carrion Fields are college age people, or people who are in some sort of profession. I have hardly met everyone who is playing/has played. I inferred that most of the people here are of that category. But I may have been mistaken.

That is what I was trying to get at with that statement. Treating others in an adult, professional manner is a form of showing some sort of respect. Their actions will determine wether or not you still hold that person in high regard. But even if you don't, it is not necessary to come down on them, or to flame them. It is a lot easier just to ignore them. After a while, they will get the message.
Thanks for your input. It is appreciated. I hope I have cleared up some of the misunderstandings you had of my post.
