Humanity's morals as a whole seem to be decreasing, respect for the fellow man is being lost and intelligence (and the desire to gain it) is dangerously low. But every era has had their issues. The current era we live in has so far been the era in which chivalry committed suicide because it didn't get the new pair of shoes it wanted. Materialism causes both progression and greed, which I'm sure was the catalyst for the outspoken Minecraft community changing into Mojang-haters. Sadly it will be many, many years before things change on that front.
This guy needs a lot of citations to back on these wild allegations...
In my opinion, you should always be as generous as possible with giving honour and respect, without demanding respect for yourself. You should always give respect to anyone, without conditions, untill the other proves indisputably that he (or she) did something such a bad thing, that you can really not bring up respect anymore. Why should he then earn respect without you knowing him? Simply because he is a human, just like you, breathing the same air as you and having the same value as you. Just like you he has needs, wants to be valued and respected and has his own contribution to the society.
And you should certainly always have respect to a superior, from the chef at work to the police officer on the street. And children should always have deep respect for their parents, no matter what, unless they are really abusing them. The more responsibility the other has (for you), the more respect he deserves, and also needs to do his work properly. Even if someone does not do his work that good, he needs respect and honorable feedback where necessary to develop himself to a better worker. You should always remember that you have also flaws and bad behaviors that other people have to tolerate. A community and also a forum would be a lot more pleasant, polite and easy going if true respect was a common attitude to each other and not something you must earn or you must demand.
This is how I was born and raised, in the PC gaming most of my days, chilling out, relaxing, at being all cool, while playing like Runescape right after school. I mean, respect the devs, the admins, they're providing fun for all. I agree with the forums needing more respect.

Although weird, it's unfortunately true. A lot of the world's newer generations are being brainwashed into the world owing them a favor. But that is a different debate all together.
Also, who ever said that they liked my writing style, Thank you
What exactly do you mean? Are you saying they are herps because they blindly think server owners could not make their own policies regarding huge automation like iron/gold farms or are you saying something?
not naming names but I've seen some people on the forums(not this one) complaining how gold and iron farms need to be taken out of the game, also xp farms. some of them are actually complaining that little kids wouldn't know how to make them and it is unfair for them if they are on a server if everyone has a lot of supplies, and resources are heavily drained.
Well, it depends the way you look at it. You can't have one 7 year old yell at Mojang, and then count the forum as a whole as being abusive.
even if this were true, that 7 year old needs to realize that not very many people know how to code and program
well enough to make video games, and the fact that mojang has accomplished it for 6 different platforms (Pc,Mac, iOS, android, Playstation, and xbox) is amazing and he/she should be grateful for the amazing game they have

The thing that I cannot understand -- the point that always troubles me the most -- is why gratitude immediately disqualifies any form of anger or passionate criticism. Why is that I must make such a leap as to refrain from being a passionate human being because for some reason I feel grateful?
Even disregarding that the term the feeling of gratitude is something that I really never felt towards a company with which I made a business transaction, I can understand the word. I'm grateful about many things. My wife, my daughters, good friends, my sister immovable love for me, my deceased parents for having me brought to this life I am so attached to. I'm even grateful towards abstract things, like a superb sunset or a special moment. But what this feeling never ever did to me was to decapitate my ability to think for myself, to be a critic, to form opinions, to defend my opinion ferociously, to get angry when I feel the need to get angry, to refrain only when I feel the need to refrain, to feel, to express,... to be a human with all its flaws and all its emotional charge.
And hopefully to not be lumped together with all the despicable human beings, by an illuminated white knight in a white horse on top of a moral pedestal from which he secretly always falls when people aren't looking (like criticizing other games with the same force they accuse others of doing here). Called a monster because I dare speak my word and not allow a simple video game to govern me with feelings of appreciation, debt or gratitude to the point of gutting my voice and my mind.
It's also always rather confusing to me why some people still refuse to think before posting such diatribe against a gaming community made up of fellow players, but demand of that community restraint in the way they should address the developers of a game. It's probably some rule I have yet to learn. One that states that "You can attack the community you are a part of with the same type of venom you accuse that community of using against the developers of such or such game." Which is really just an elaborate way of saying you can do to others what you don't done to you.
Whether these people have become completely lost to consumerism to the point of compromising their own personal interests in the name of idolatry, or they simply do not recognize that one can get angry at those they love... Whether these people actually believe they are being a moral standard, or instead actually think that one can take a whole for its parts, I don't know.
What I do know is that this is my answer to you. And you can put it on the OP too. Although, despite all the pretense high morals you display, I'm pretty sure you won't. You, like the people you seem to criticize, aren't interested at all in different opinions. You and your OP are really no different from those you criticize. You just position yourself on the side you think is the good side, the righteous side, while committing murder like everyone else.
Have a good day.

common knowledge does not require citations
"Common knowledge" That was heavily opinionated, not common knowledge. There's a difference.

I'll be adding this to the OP.
