I take offense to people not taking the time to research and killing things or not providing an optimal chance of survival.
yes i agree that there are many ppl on the boards that dont treat there tanks with the proper respect. and i do agree that ALOT of ppl inpulse buy and dont have a high survival rate for that reason. but that is not the issue at hand. the issue is the way that you treat ppl. there is no reason that you should tell someone HOW to run there tank. these boards are supposed to be a place that ppl can come and ask for advise WITHOUT someone like you firing negative attitudes at them. THEY ARE HERE TO GET HELP, NOT TO BE PUT DOWN BY PPL LIKE YOU. this is supposed to be a friendly community of hobbyist helping hobbyist, not ppl who feel the need to tell someone off helping fellow hobbyists.
