this is the type of keeper i was reffering to,when i made the post you questioned in your above quote.....
vvvvv
imo Mykee is one of the most knowledable Keepers on this Forum,with years of hands on experience,who keeps ball pythons into the hundreds,imo this forum would lose out in Mykee's abscense,as we would no longer be able to get the valuable information,he contributes

Re: Listen up everyone, This ends.
Not to knock Mykee's experience and knowledge (I concur with his BP smarts), nor do I care whether he stays or goes, but he's not the only knowledgeable person on ball pythons out there. I disagree that this forum would "be lost without him." IMHO, that's the kind of pedestal-creating that gives people their big heads, which leads to an excess of arrogance, which leads to people griping about them being rude.
Again, its not personal to anyone specifically. But your outlook is akin to saying this forum would be lost without Gregg's advice on varanids, Wayne's knowledge on garters, or my information on tortoises. It would go on fine if any one of us decided to take a sabbatical.

Re: Listen up everyone, This ends.
Thank you Wayne! On some post's I really feel bad that a new poster gets a childish fight on their post with the OP's topic and question ignored, if they want to find an answer they have to weed through a bunch of immature name calling.
That said if you don't know then don't post just because it's fun to post! We have all made mistakes, and of course we all learn that way. I love how active this forum is, lots of memebers.
There is enough negitivty with the non-reptile people out there we don't need it in our hobby as well!

I understand your point but there are few people here that only post when they are right. I have asked mykee several times why he hasn't posted on a certain thread and he replies " I have no experience" or " I'm not sure".
As far as I'm concerned there are few people here that I truly trust with their advice. I don't want people that just regurge info they got off the internet that was authored by a person that had a cousin that was married to a person that had a friend that owned a royal for two weeks and feels they are qualified to write a care sheet.
The real issue is we have people that can't care for a pet rock trying to tell others how to care for snakes.

i did NOT say the forum would be " lost without him " (those were your words)...
i said the forum would " lose out " on Mykee's knowledge,should he leave (there is a HUGE difference,in your statment,to my statment )
i said he is " ONE " of the most experienced/knowledgable keepers on this forum (not thee most)
i did NOT say he was the " only " one,but one by one we've lost a good few keepers,city snakes,gonesnakee,etc
re losing experienced members
if we lost Mykee,Wayne,Gregg.....
then your saying the forum would NOT " lose out " on having access to the information,these guys give out.....
so with a forum full of new keepers,who would give out the quality advice,that has been aquired from years and years of hands on experience...
the answer to that is NO one would
re on a pedestal
recognising someones knowledge and experience is NOT putting someone on a pedestal...
its merely showing recognition of their experience,NOTHING more
i feel your burying your head in the sand mate...
if ALL the LONG TIME KEEPERS bail...then the quality of information PLUMMETS,no ?
its NOT a PISSING contest mate,its all about the QUALITY of the information given out,nothing more imo
cheers shaun
p.si'm off to xmas dinner with the in laws,but i'll post an example of what i mean,when i have more time tonight mate

i'm the same Kevin.....
if i have no experience in something,or i'm unsure,then i will NOT post...
i may post and point them in the direction of someone,who can answer their question....
but if i don't know something,then i'm the first to admit it and i keep out the conversation
imo theres too many people spouting regurged bad info from google,hell if you don't know something,then don't guess of become a google warrior
cheers shaun

Re: Listen up everyone, This ends.
I know of one forum where I see a person post a photo of a sickly animal sitting on someone's lap and the handful of replies are always "oh how cute" or "beautiful animal, I'm sure it will be great in your care"
I certainly hope we never de-evolve to that...

Re: Listen up everyone, This ends.
I've mostly stopped posting because of a certain few people who can't post without starting a fight.

Are you kidding me? Taking the time to sign up and having the ability to post the number of times you want DOES make you part of the forum. Not everyone has a large amount of time to waste on making a lot of posts.
