I recieved three replies like this after infracting a user for blatantly breaking the a clearly stated market rule twice.

Is this really how people should be behaving towards moderators, or are the rules really too strict to justify the moderators getting any respect (rules only there to get you infracted or similar)?

Or, alternatively, is it simply that people do not have any respect whatsoever for figures of authority anymore and that this is to be expected from youth.
