Re: Listen up everyone, This ends.
I'm glad you've decided to change things here Wayne... I like to pick apart someone's post as much as the next person, but I expect a good conversation to come from it or to learn something new from it... Not the petty drama that's pretty much normal here now.
Newbs and long term members alike need to work together to get this place back to what it was.

haha couldn't agree more!
as to the post- im glad that Wayne stepped up and made a stand, i cut back on posting, due to the increase of negative responses, mostly from what i think to be newbies- since they are not here any more...
but lets just all be nice like someone's quote says/said- "The expert was once a newbie too" or something similar to that.

I never got into American Dad. I only watched bits of a few episodes though.

Ahahaha! That was the perfect set up. Slam slam slam....
Korbin, i'm immune to fire extinguishers. Apparently, nothing can extinguish me. Not even a huge bucket of water thrown on me by a hot girl after i've lit my head on fire trying to impress her....tadaaa....

Re: Listen up everyone, This ends.
The concept is easy, RESPECT. We need to respect others and their opinions, even if we disagree with them. State your point, back it up by facts or experience and leave it at that. You can respectfully disagree with some one, but you do not need to call them names or insult their opinion. Many people do not post because they don't want the drama and verbal attacks that come from other members. Many times there are many ways to do the same thing, with the same results, but we do not need to put others down, because they do some thing differently than we do.
I consider someone a long time keeper who keeps more than just one kind of reptile and has for over at least 10 years. I have kept all kinds of snakes for over 32 years and run a snake rescue and adoption organization, as well as provide educational snake shows to the public. I feel I qualify as a long time keeper and have experience to offer educated advice to this forum. But many times I have not added to a thread do to the drama and name calling that was going on. I'm sure others have felt the same way.

Re: Listen up everyone, This ends.
I don't post a lot anymore(honestly its mostly just welcoming new members anymore). When I first became a member here, I stayed because of the atmosphere and just about everything was herp related. There was close to no issues with anyone being ignorant, stupid, childish, or anything of that nature. It was just a good ole' reptile forum with people that just wanted to talk reptiles. I still get on here pretty often but some of the stuff I've seen has really started to turn me off to the forum on a whole. Its not everybody but its obviously enough to start turning people away.
I understand that the forum is growing and with that happening there will be personalities that clash. But at the end of the day, I thought we were here to talk reptiles and offer advice so people can provide their animals with the best care possible. Not call people out and do whatever everyone keeps doing. The sad thing is, this isn't the first thread Wayne has started to tell all of us to stop being idiots and get back to why we are here. Since thats the case, I support Wayne 100% if he starts banning people. Hopefully that will wake people up.

Re: Listen up everyone, This ends.
The way this thread has degraded is exactly why I don't post here 1/10th as much as i used to. Though I love a good spirited debate, this has just gotten ridiculous.
I'll be back as a productive member of this community when this site smartens up and tightens up.
