Facebook Breeder Groups
Maybe it's just me but those "groups" on Facebook for breeders, classifieds, feedback seem to attract people I'm not used to dealing with on places like BP.net. Lots of attitude and "holier than thou" approach to things. Not very helpful and full of negative comments, put downs and mega-drama. I feel like I should be part of the Facebook community but it's not pleasant reading what they post.
Anyone else feel that way?

Yup. Such is life online.
I may not be very smart, but what if I am?

I'm part of several groups, but I'm only active/paying attention to the Brazilian Rainbow Group. The BRB group is really good, but that has no barring on other groups.
0.1 Blood Red Corn Snake (BHB)
0.1 BRB (Elegant Reptile Images)

A lot the people I interact with in my local area groups are like that. Almost upset I got involved in my local reptile scene. 75% of the people are basically worthless to me.

I'm a member of the Boa Constrictor Aficionados group and have not noticed that sort of attitude there. But I don't really pay much attention to the drama so I may have missed out on it.....

Re: Facebook Breeder Groups
I gave it another try and I'm basically done posting on Facebook groups. There's no accountability and people are out of control.
And when you look at the worst offenders, it's adults acting worse than middle school kids. Why would anyone purchase anything from them based on the way they conduct themselves on line, even if they produce something unique.
Without mentioning any names, there's one person that I thought was ok from seeing posts here but from what I've seen on FB, I now have a completely different opinion.
I am really disappointed but not totally surprised.

I guess everyone need to make their own group just so they can be in control of something.
I would imagine they check out everyone they want to make a mod pretty well. If you behaved like those guys you would be banned too.

It's not just facebook. There are some forums (one in Canada most people know well) that is just full of these types of people. All they do is bash, start rumors and insult. BP.net seems to be one of the "friendlier" forums, which is why it does so well!
