welcome JP!

I agree all the information here isn't correct, but it's the same everywhere. I have yet to see a forum or caresheet that contained ALL CORRECT information, mind you some of it is subjective. The two examples you gave (tape to remove eyecaps and breeding burms) are opinions shared by few on this site. However I don't think coming here and in your first post telling us that most of what we say is crap, is cool. At least wait until you see something wrong in a post, and correct it (politely, of course, as a lot can be percieved as "flaming").
But honestly, what reaction did you expect from such a post? "Yes, you're right, we're wrong. please correct all our mistakes."?

Anyway, welcome to the site. Hopefully you can find the information you need somewhere, whether it be here or elsewhere.

I never said that all the information given out here is "crap". I also never claimed that this was the only site that gave out incorrect information.

Ya know, I simply gave a few examples of the FEW times that I have previously been on this site--and yes, the information that I had read was incorrect, or better put, ill-advised. Chances are, they were from new people that are giving thier advice and well intentions--yes, you will see that at ALL sites. I can understand why people got so upset, but that was not my intention.

As I may of said before, I speak my mind, and give my opinion--that is who I am. My intentions were to say hi, and why I decided to sign up--to get a BETTER idea of what this site is about. I am not going to let a few bad apples spoil the basket, or however that metaphor goes If I offended anyone, I apologize. But, I speak the truth--some people can handle it, some cannot.

I do enjoy this site, in the short time I have been here. I do not enjoy getting "attacked" because I spoke the truth. Kudos go to those that did welcome me, and wished me luck in the future--that was all that was really needed.

Oh I agree with you, it is good to say what you mean, but there is a fine line between percieved as an open, outspoken person, and a jerk. I'm not saying you are or anything, because it's GREAT to have learned people who know what they are talking about join the site, but it isn't hard to percieve someone who is asking if we are always wrong, or only occaisionally, as such.

I don't think anyone was really attacking you, but like I said, what reaction were you expecting? "Yeah, we're always wrong"?

Anyway, it doesn't really matter, what's said was said. Hopefully you will stay here, and correct those of us who are wrong.

I guess I really wasn't thinking of what reaction I would get. To me, the comment was honest and forthright; I never gave it another glance. My bad.

Anyway, onwards and upwards!!
