Anyone that goes anywhere, whether internet or in real life, expects respect. Saying you don't go someplace expecting respect is one of two things-a lie or a sense of unworthiness. No one goes someplace real or otherwise to be cut to pieces. Weren't you pretty miserable in a place where lack of respect was commonplace?
We all have friends that support us and we love and respect them for it. It's the strangers that choose to support us that really earn respect and admiration.
