It's totally down to the members attitudes - we have a great bunch of people who have always respected differing views. It's the reason I joined this forum initially and I have never regretted doing so. :oops: Sorry for getting mushy but you guys need to know how different you are to most other groups out there occasionally.

I think it’s because of what are passion is. Most people look at me like I’m crazy when I tell them I keep snakes. However on the car fourms that I’m on it’s all about bragging for most, my car is faster and u don’t know what ur doing etc

Well I frequent quite a few forums including a general chat one , a electrics/hifi one and couple of multinational Football /Soccer / Sports forums and they’re very toxic places ..

I think alot of it has to do with the Mods too.

I’ve been a member of some crappy forum pages too. I think this one is the best by far.

I'd agree with that, but also, it takes some level of maturity by all of us not to respond to inflammatory posts with lots more of the same. This forum has a very effective
way of reporting such posts, allowing for the notification of mods so they can dampen the flames appropriately as needed, but it's up to all of us, to some extent. We are
here to share information that helps others achieve the best care of their snakes, & communications can be challenging at times, but we all do our best for the sake of the
animals who ultimately depend on our responses.

Just to chime in on how great the membership is here, I agree wholeheartedly. This was the first forum I ever joined. I joined a few after finding this one, but this is the only one I really enjoy. I never even visit the others. Well, except one, but not too often.

But it definitely starts with the admin and mods. They set an example and do a great job of enforcing the TOS without being like elementary school teachers.

I know I've been one to get caught up in some of the "drama" threads, but it's something I'm working on in my personal life as well as here. Sometimes I have a hard time just shutting up. But I'm working on it.

So, sorry to have partaken in some of the BS. But I am working on it!

Thanks mods and admin for all you do!!:gj:

I’ve been working on shutting up as well Craig lol I too have that same issue. The people over all here are great and seem like they want the the best for everyone. I’m sorry for the trouble I caused as well when I first joined. I really enjoy it here, I visit one other Forum now besides this one and this one is the only reason I re-downloaded Tapatalk.

Great article... unfortunately its too late for this to make a difference. everyone already believes all vaping is bad. it is going to be hard to sway that opinion.
