It makes me real sad this thread keeps getting bumped. I have tanked since 2.0 and have never seen undeserved disrespect toward me or any other tank beyond the random Troll that decides to grace us with their presence. If you do your job, you'll most likely get nothing but praise and a beautiful flow of Commendations. Point being, if you are receiving insults/disrespect, especially consistently enough to come to OF and post about it.. you most likely aren't doing things right. While many can go about expressing that fact a little better, at least take a look at yourself and realize you can improve in an area. If its trolls being trolls, just put on your big girl/boy pants and move on, they are in every online interaction you'll ever be involved in.

TL, DR; Tank Better. /endthread
