On topic:
Be it fair or not, the rank(/or arrogance percieved due to) is what starts most fights i think.

Off topic and Devils advocate:
But why should a begineer respect someone they have never met, seen or interacted with just cos they say they have rank, experience etc

I reckon rank in a structured environment works, im not sure it does really on the internet, maybe, i dont know. I mean everyone here just has a user ID, avatar, password and profile....

Like ashi (the you tube guy) or Ignatz friend (sandan) if you use the internet / forums, you should expect what is there, good and bad.
Hang out here long enough and you'll get to know the cast of characters and take their advice for what it's worth based on your knowledge of people's character and experience. I agree with that, regardless of what rank they have or how long they say they have been practicing, you cant expect a forum newbie to respect them when they act like arses.
