Quote from Redearth
It's effectively circular - you treat people badly they act badly, like beaten dogs or bullied children. Doesn't excuse it but it might explain some of it in some cases.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Or people act badly and don't therefore get the respect they seem to think is a right not something that's earned. As you said, circular.
I have to admit that I don't really worry about how people are dressed on site, or how many piercings etc they have, but I do mind if they don't appear to understand the archaeology. After all, we are supposed to be archaeologists!
