Do you respect lower level AB'ers as much as you do the higher level ones?

Yes, everyone's opinion matters. Just depends on how right they are, or how well it applies to your situation.
-
I have a default level of respect for people, but as I get to know their personality, I grow to respect them more or less. For example, I've seen how caring some users (like Momma_Bear and AntigoneRising) are, so I respect them more than most users. And I disrespect users that have been mean or insensitive to me.

G'day Nuclear Kitten, Thank you for your question. Everyone is worthy of respect unless they show themselves to be not worthy of it. Apart from trolls, I haven't come across anyone who hasn't deserved respect yet. Regards

If someone answers a question well they get my respect. Many people on high levels are people who have nothing to do and spend their entire day here so I don't see why they should get extra respect.
-
i don't respect people instantly, they have to show that they deserve the respect i am to give. = )~

once they earn it

Doesn't amtter what level they are you should respect another persons right to an opinion(s). You don't have to like their opinion and you down rate their answers and questions according to your opinion(s) add points accordingling.

Without thinking, i often disregard lower lever members. They are often idiots with no respect for the community and little knowledge of our acceptable question/answer syntax. I visualize them like highschool freshman, so mouthy you just need to knock them down a peg to show them who's boss. Higher members are not to be trifled with and i generally hold them to higher respect, except those that race to the top of the ladder just because they can. That kind never evolves beyond the novice attitude. But no matter you particular level is, you all irritate me the same.
-
The level should not matter.The ones that are not in the higher levels are new people and have not asked enough questions,or answered a large amount of questions.I respect them all equally.

Since I can't know the AB'ers personally, I don't look at it as respecting the AB'er. But I do look just at an AB'er's question or comment and respect or dimiss that on an equal basis. In fact, I rarely look at who the AB'er is before I make a judgement about their question or comment. To me, the question/comment stands or falls on it's own merits, so someone who's been an AB member for 5 minutes is on an equal footing with me as someone who's been an AB member since the beginning. Everyone starts somewhere, someday, so length of time means nothing to me. All that counts is what they've said on the particular question/comment I'm reading at the time.
-
Can't say I care one way or another. It's all just to pass the time.
-
I respect the answer given. I started on Level one like everyone else.
-
If they ask good questions and give good answers.
-
levels are like colors or nationalities. means nothing to me. i look at the Q & A.
-
If an answer is good or well researched I do not differentiate on a members level

Plenty of times, I respect lower level Baggers a heck of a lot more than the higher-ups, which is a roundabout way of saying rank is meaningless. I respect anyone (almost) who can write a thoughtful and literate answer to a serious question, and I love people who are witty and clever. As you know, rank doesn't mean squat when it comes to that. In the past week, I've seen four brand-new Baggers write exceptionally good answers. I've also read some crap written by people who've been here a long time. It's the person, not the rank.
-
It depends on how recently Stableboy committed badgicide. Seriously though, some of those lower-level people are quite intelligent and insightful; well deserving of respect.
-
I certainly do! Just because a particular user hasn't answered or asked as many questions doesn't mean they're not as "good" as one who has been here for a few years.
-
We're all equal.
-
Most certainly!! Rank hasn't got a thing to do with it. There are beginners here who I have the utmost respect for and there are some (thankfully..VERY few)long timers who are rude, offensive, vulgar and who I have NO respect for whatsoever.
-
Tis easier to respect a lower level bagger that agrees with me than a higher one that doesn't. Shows good sense ;)
-
Levels make no difference to me. Anyone who posts good Q&A, is respectful of others, and is genuinely nice and friendly is fine in my book...no matter what their level happens to be.
-
They're probably waaaay smarter than me.
-
I don't look at anyone's level and measure my respect for them I respect all people unless they do something horrendous on purpose. It doesn't matter where they are. I've seen great answers and smart thoughtful questions from many newer members than some long time members. So what?
