Western Diamond Back Snake Bite

[Marla]

Mikey, David, this isn't reflecting well on you. You're looking like little kids, sniping back and forth at each other and threadstalking. Rusty is the official stalker here, so why not just let her do her job?

Haha I guess this belongs in the venomous forum for a few reasons huh....

Thats funny :lol:

[RPlank]

And I don't think YOU of all people can speak for this forum. I frankly don't care if one or 2 people don't like me....I won't lose any sleep over it.

I do speak for this forum, and once again, your attacks have caused a problem, David. What happened to the guy who emailed the apology to Godfather a couple weeks ago, asking to be let back on the board? That guy, we can handle. That guy that is welcome here.
This guy,

its mainly just maniac that I target.

is not welcome here. Decide who you want to be.

Have you guys considered a part of the forum where people can duke it out. Its just a sugestion. Its just that I think that being in a community does not just mean that people are lovey dovey and nice all the time. It just does not work that way. This is a community and people will argue and be at odds with each other as we continue to grow. I for one do not think that banning people when you do not like what they say or how they behave is the solution in the long run. I will and always continue to support David cause he has helped me a lot when I was a "noob" and I respect his knowledge and applaud him for taking a stand when it comes to our beloved snakes!

Raj, there are already a couple of good places for things like that, including over at faunaclassifieds.com. If this site had as much animosity and bickering as Fauna or Kingsnake or some other sites, I'd say there might be a point to what you suggest, but the tone of this site generally encourages members to take disputes private and I'd like to see it stay that way. It's one thing to vent about things like lousy husbandry in pet stores or shows spreading disinforation about reptiles or that sort of thing, but it's quite another thing to attack other members of the community. One rallies us 'round the hobby and each other, and the other divides us.

Note: this is specifically in response to Raj's suggestion about a forum section, and not a commentary about recent events here.

Good reply Marla. I see the point now. I still like David though :mrgreen:

[Marla]

I'm not disputing that or trying to convince you that you shouldn't. David definitely has contributed here.

[gen]

I like David too. I feel sorry that it had to come to this. But I also admit I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Godfather's post. Someone had to put an end to that madness. I look forward to things going back to normal.

[Mike]

and this place used to be better than kingsnake...

[Marla]

I think it still is, Mike. Most of the people here are regular visitors or lurkers so we don't have the divebombing kind of action that ks gets, and hopefully the results of this issue will end the threadstalking here as well.
