Lionstorm - I don't know if I would agree that Bob is simply being flamed. It is more complicated than that here. It is not a matter of someone posting something they did unknowingly and having everyone jump all over them. That I would definitely consider flaming.
But this didn't start out that way. This was repeatedly posting about problems, ignoring everyone's advice on those problems, insisting on doing it his way anyway to no avail, and then turning around and constantly telling people that his way is the correct way to manage a tank. All of this when he can't get a handle on the problems in his own tank and refuses to listen to anyone.
As I posted above, I too believe he may just enjoy getting people upset. If so, yes I fell for it - hook, line and sinker, as did others.
But when new hobbyists (or seasoned hobbyists as well) post here for assistance, Bob's advice may be causing more harm than anything else. I think it is the responsibility of those who know better to do what they can to at least notify people that Bob's advice is, at the very least, unfavorable, and could result in worsening their situation.
