Mattkatandicanthitthepostbuttonfastenough is a prime example. I've seen where he tried to use his post count as a reason why his incorrect answer to a question should be accepted as fact. When proved wrong he dismissed it and argued that he was a "respected" member and then proceeded on to the second method of trying to become relevant; name dropping.
That reminds me E, of the time I saw him post something to (how does he call it? A "newb"?) someone over there one time. KitKatFlimFlam told this new guy something along the lines of, "You've only been here blah blah, and you should learn to respect the people who've been here longer". Yes, the same guy who just celebrated his first year there openly, was talking down to some new guy about seniority.
This is also the same guy who basically tried to put down every OLDER person in time spent at that forum for calling him on all his various bull**** posts, his random trolling of forum members, his flaming insults, etc... The guy lives in this world where time and space only applies to the universe as he sees fit I guess, and in this little world he's the "senior" guy everywhere somehow, and feels HIS seniority demands respect... Not that he should respect HIS "elders"...
And let's get to the meat of this... You earn respect, you don't get it by the number of years you've spent on Earth, or at a toy site. If you're a respectable person you get respect, and if you're a total ******bag, you get treated as though you are. His little badge could be 20 colored blocks wide over there, and **** up the way the page is viewed for all I care, I still wouldn't give him an ounce of respect till I saw him behave like something other than a prick. If you can't show to me that you can interact with people WITHOUT picking a fight all the time, talking down to others, turning a simple disagreement into mudslinging insults, then I'm sorry but there's no respect being earned or deserved there. MatKat could've created Rebelscum and I'd still feel this way. I don't care how "senior" he feels he is. He's got some years of growing before he sees this light I'm afraid.
