Can't we all just get along???

Some of you might not be old enough to remember Rodney King making this statement.
I just can't understand why just about every post ends up with a bickering match, or a moderator having to step in, give warnings, and then finally end up closing the thread.
I think we all, including myself, should take a second before we type anything, and see if what we typed is just a negative comment, or a flaming comment. It takes under a minute to read what you typed, and decide if it should be posted on here.
It gets old seeing fights start, for whatever reason, and then you read the "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, yada yada yada." While if you take a second, you might not think it's a good post. I personally don't post every time I type a reply. I sit back and read it over a couple times, and more often than not, I just don't post it.
I am not trying to say I am perfect, or I never do this same thing. But I at least give that effort when posting.
We should start using this website and forum for it's original purpose, to help each other, and to learn how to be successful in keeping marine life.
If you just want to bicker or fight with people go check out this web site: www.Imanangrypersonwithonlybadthingstosay.com
Now if you clicked that link, well, De de deee. LOL.
All I am trying to point out is this website has been more about arguing and starting fights with each other than for it's origional purpose.
Now, if you feel like you need to post a negative reply here, feel free. This is a free country we live in. I would thank you not to, but who can stop you.
Now either let the flaming and arguing begin, or let's all just get along and help each other.

My sentiments eggzacktlyy......... :thumbsup:

My momma always said " I you can't say something nice - keep your mouth shut".

well something like that :lol:
 
This will be in the Perfect world... not this one!:eek2:

But I do agree Shane, it seems like people treat this hobby as a competition and want others to fail. All that negative energy can be used to help someone out not take them down... :cool:
 
Iam all for it, like a wise man once said " Sorry means nothing, its allready been done. " I live by that saying and always will. But lets just all get along and sing the song Why Cant We Be Friends.
 
In case any one needs the lyrics for the group sing along:

All I am trying to say is instead of posting a thread or a reply ,think about it. If you know it is going to cause bickering, don't post it.
Can we all try to not post anything negative, or that could start a fight?
Let's see if we can set a new record for no bickering. Present record is under 24 hours. :lol:
But seriously, can we all just try a little harder?
Like Don Lino said, That would be in a perfect world. None of us are perfect, but we should try harder to be as close to it as we can. Right?
Thanks, and that's all I got to say about that, Mmmhuh. :D

sorry just read the post and i posted something kinda negitive. just trying to stick up for the people you are trying and care.
 
:) well, then, we'll have to confiscate that flame thrower Shane! And I am sorry I made fun of your pink betta Don Lino. It's very pretty;)

I agree with Shane. This has the potential to be an extraordinary resource for new and established hobbyists. I know many folks who won't post here for fear of reprisals. I'd love to see more resource sharing, articles on advancements in the hobby and posts regarding rare and fun finds in nature.
 
Stop hating on my Betta.... I mean my wifes Betta! :twitch:

SIKE ... its all good, maybe we can get a Betta thread going??

Its all fun... :lol2:
 
Hey Mustafa, you going to the Conference? I'll be there and hope to see you and the wind flowing through your hair :smokin: - I mean your wife :D!
 
Nope, I need a new excuse... maybe I'll go get the milk for the cereal.

Shane dont flame me for the High Jack, but u already know me! Remember the famous statement...
