With any hobby, there will always be great people, and those that like to stir the pot.
It is always up to you to take what those people say and do, and use it or ignore it to your benefit.
Now if you let those "stir the pot" people get to you, of course its will make it more difficult to enjoy the hobby in itself.
Remember this:
It's not about the other people, its about how you enjoy your hobby. The great people are just a HUGE plus!
This is one of the reasons why some people in the hobby aren't on the internet. It allows for "know-it-alls", "Pains in the butt", and "Jerks" to invade what should be a fun and enjoyable thing for them.
I'm sure everyone here has had a few of those, but... its how you let them affect you that will help/hurt your feelings for the hobby.
Enjoy it how you will.
If you need to take a step back away from the computer screen, phone, or whatever and just enjoy your animals to remind you of why you are doing what you are doing, please, feel free!!!
It feels great
