As people, yes everyone has a right to feel unhappy about things that upset them. But as players in a multiplayer game, how you feel is not the only thing that matters. To insist that other players need to cater to your feelings is entitlement at its finest. Playing a tank doesn't make you special. It doesn't make you king. You don't deserve extra respect for it. To think that it does is arrogance.

Tanks need to do their job just like everyone else is expected to. If you do it well, then maybe, just maybe, you'll earn others' respect.
This. Just because I'm playing tank (or healer) doesn't put me above everyone else and demand people respect my role. In fact I appreciate it if someone with more range than me goes off and pops a group and brings it to me, saves me from running, especially if I've run out of sprint. Going AFK and telling people to "learn their roles" is an incredibly negative attitude and arrogance I despise, and for some reason a lot of people with the mentor crown have this foul attitude where they feel like it is their right to be obstructive towards everyone. I've gone several runs as healer where a DPS pulls for the tank, and then the tank spends 20 or so minutes spewing vitriol at the DPS, and telling me to "Let them die". We end up completing the dungeon without the tank and usually kick them for AFKing just before the final boss.
