maxib Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 A forum is a place to exchange ideas and knowledge. What works for some doesnt work for others. The wisest people still admit they dont know everything. Talking trash about someone is usually a reflection of yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 It is not just restricted to the cichlid community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 One thing I found along time ago is that most people are happy to have a go at people while banging away at a keyboard. Written English is, at times, very easy to take the wrong way. Humour and sarcasm is almost always taken the wrong way, especially when you don't personally know the person writing it. I have had plenty of arguments on forums and facebook pages because of this. Facebook a pages are usually force to take the opinion of their owners/admin. If you have a different opinion, you get hassled constantly. At least with forums you have a few admins that see things differently to each other so it will even out over time. I don't use any other forums but this one for Cichlids. I am not on any facebook pages/groups. I stop visiting them along time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Easiest solution us to ditch the Facebook groups. It's not just cichlid groups. Something about that set up brings out the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoody Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 if it wasn't for some of the nice photos that pop up ducksta i would have along time ago. and i do enjoy reading solutions to peoples problems.its just the minority that make it crappy, and then the other people who jump on the band wagon for something to do.

yellows Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Couldn't agree with you more but it's not just fish I used to breed English show Budgies and it was just as bad there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxib Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The way the world works. Often opinions weigh heavily over fact. Thats the beauty of democracy. You can pretty much say what you want when you want. Why get your knickers in a knot if someone doesn't agree with you over something so trivial as fish or budgies or whatever it may be. If we lived in a communist country we would be impisoned for saying our priminister is a douche.Did you know that the world was flat...they used to execute people who thought otherwise. The world eventually became round, then sperichal and then it was a geiod. Its not about converting people to your thinking rather giving them the information so they can decide.
