Re: why so much arguing?
Lol! Ive noticed all the arguing too. You see it on almost every forum though. I find it really hilarious when things escalate sometimes, i just try and stay out of it. they do ruin threads sometimes, with 4 pages of unnecessary conflict.

Re: why so much arguing?
I'm part of other reptile forums, and I don't know if it's just the people in the Monitor Lizard and Other Lizard area, but I see a lot of fighting on here.
I think that so much of it is just people being plain RUDE. An of course everyone has their own version of what is 'rude'. But petty things like name-calling etc is obvious to me.
I saw a thread the other day where someone was needing some advice and their snake's life was on the line and instead of helping, people jumped all over them. Started calling the person names like 'fail keeper' etc. That's the kind of stuff that pushes people away.
That being said, I have also had about 5 individuals on here who have helped me so much and have put hours of their time into helping me. I'm so grateful for that, I just wish that people could focus on the animals and not their own petty arguments or grudges.

Re: why so much arguing?
I don't see it - I'm not being argumentative here, I just don't see where the arguments are. It seems to be peaceful to me, maybe it's confined to certain parts of the forum that i don't visit?
Cab somebody PM me some threads where the arguments occur?

Re: why so much arguing?
LOL.... I hope this thread doesn't turn into an argument!!!! I just thought I would share my first impression... guess I don't like that kind of stuff but it sounds like there are lots of nice folks here with knowledge to share.

You missed it, but this is like the third or fourth thread on the same subject, and it does often turn into arguing about arguing.

Re: why so much arguing?
Lol. Is it just me or is it always the new or low post count members who feel the need to point out how terrible we are for arguing and being mean? Maybe we don't do enough for them? Let's start sending them milk and cookies and having story time! Maybe that will help them snuggle in?
Let explain how this forum works. There is a lot of history and inside jokes. Some people have nicknames like DC while others are called Ace and Gary. Just because you don't understand it or appreciate it doesn't mean anyone needs to start a thread. If I call Aaron the great knob gobbler that's okay because he is. Some people on here have consistently given terrible advice or are pathological liars, these people get treated how they deserve. Most posts people get upset about are because someone spoke the truth but didn't put any syrup on top. So that's just how we roll.

no but you dont have to be a pretentious dee-eye-sea-kay either. There is a lot of smugness and ego trips that goes into answering new folks as if everyone is holier than thou and you never had a "dumb" question to ask. It shouldnt be a labor to be kind to your neighbor, or new folks in this instance.

I find this rather rude. People like myself come here looking for help and a friendly environment, and then there's someone saying that because they have more posts, they are therefore better. And it's not just you, I have seen this several times, and it is getting on my nerves. I don't think the person who has 1,000 posts should always be seen as more knowledgable than the person with 10.

Re: why so much arguing?
Post count means nothing.
We have published biologists here with tiny post counts, and not once have I seen them treat people as lower life forms.

Re: why so much arguing?
Gotta say that I didn't read this whole thread because I was too lazy but it really doesn't bother me and I don't know why it bothers some people so much. I mean it's the Internet and you don't even know the person who cares if they were "calling you names" or whatever. I try not to be rude to people but when some people do it you just got to ignore it and take the good out of it. I got to admit to that it hasn't happened to me that much as right from the beginning I did lots of research so I didn't have to ask to many stupid questions. I still did get some "attitude" but I don't care. You also have to know people. An example that I am thinking of just off the top of my head is Mykee. When your new you might think e is being rude but he really isn't he is just blunt and strait to the point. Well anyway that is my point of view.

I've also seen their posts well received.
