Everyone read-Hybrid Talk

there has been quite a few threads in the past couple of days on hybrids. i for one enjoy hybrids but many people here do not agree with them. everyone is entitled to thier opinon!! this thread was not meant to be a hybrid discussion.

for those interested in hybridization, i suggest you start posting your questions and comments on another site called hybridhaven.net. i am a member there and i feel this is where these subjects belong. we should be curtious to other people that use this site and take this type of talk to another forum.

i am NOT stepping on toes, and i am NOT going to debate hybridization in this thread, I am simply asking those interested in hybrids to post elsewhere and your questions will be answered. by doing this, you get less flak for wanting to hybridize and you give those who hate hybrids a break from this talk.

thanks!:):D

This should have probably been place in Off-Topic.

I haven't see much aggression toward hybrids (or the people that like them), more suggestions than anything. Quite a few members on here do enjoy hybrids, and I'd prefer them post on this forum.

This is actually the only forum I really post on. :D

i disagree. many of the hybrid threads on this site quickly turn into 6 pages of hybrid arguments.

there is a place for everything and here is not the place for hybrid talk. its free to joing the site listed.

Lucas,

Please do not tell other people what they should and should not discuss on the site. If the threads disturb you with the direction they take you are free to stop reading them - and people are perfectly free to keep making them.

And I have to say I personally find this thread to be in poor taste ( and certainly not curteous ) when you start encouraging members to join another site where you feel the subject is a better fit.

Hybrid talk is certainly not "unavailable" on BP.net and we have allowed (and will continue to allow ) links to the forum you mention on many occasions.

I am also a member there and enjoy reading the forum and would hate to have the people on there feeling that they would not be welcome on bp.net.

So true.

I moved this thread into Off Topic. Being in "Site Info" makes it look like BP.net endorses the content, and we certainly do not.

I'll stand behind Derek's (dr del's) post 100%. Discussions about hybrids are more than welcomed here. Just because some choose to debate the issue does not make it any less welcomed.

I think this forum does a great job in being civil during debates where opinions differ drastically. Most Hybrid threads start off with a "I saw this pic of such and such hybrid, what are all your thoughts on hybrids?" . So of course you get 6 pages of peoples opinions. I think people have a hard time talking about them here because there are many passionate and well informed people here that dis-agree with it.

I enjoy looking at all of the hybrids. No desire to produce them myself, but some of them are extremely fascinating.

I think there are lots of people that would be into hybrids if there was a way to ensure responsiblity by those breeding and distributing them as well as those buying them. I like the look of many too, I just don't like the possible consequences to the gene pools of each respective species involved. We should stop discussing soon we might hit six pages before we know it :P

Oh noes! Not the dreaded six page discussion! :O

I agree though. My only issue with hybrids is making sure they are responsibly labeled and kept. As long as the animals are kept/sold to someone who will keep proper paper work and assure they won't be sold as pure animals, I'm cool with it. :)
