What gets your Goat on the forums?

[Big Gunns]

Ignorance, blatant stupidity, and......3rd person talk.

Why is it no surprise to BG you added "3rd person". Big Gunns isn't worried though...you'll be a fan soon enough Patty.

I knew that was going to make it to this thread!

I hate when someone asks a question about the properway to do something and then completely ignores/disregards the answers he/she gets.

"make it to this thread"???? BG thinks it's why there is this thread.

OR ppl that cant get their own reptile stuff straight but yet they insist on giving advice, and its even more funny when its hearsay.

Big Gunns agrees 10000000%

Lewie things 3rd person talk is not so bad.

So can Big Gunns add you to his fan club?

Take this then .

Same to you Joey.

771subliminal hates when he reads a post from someone saying something thats completely wrong get corrected then a few days later 771subliminal sees them post the corrected advice they were just givin pretending like thats the only wat that they have ever done things. or even when they get on someone else for saying that exact same thing they just said the day b4.

It's sure looking like BG has another fan....or wanna be anyway.

People who are either too inept or too lazy to use the search function. 75% of the questions asked on most forums have been already been asked and answered repeatedly.
A good example on this forum is, "Why hasn't my ball python pooped?" I think it get's asked 3 or 4 times a week...

Now....Big GUnns wants people to take a second look at this complaint.

You can find all the information you need on anything reptile related somewhere on the net. There is no need AT ALL to go to this or any other forum to get it. It's actually probably a bad idea to get info from a forum. It would be much better to go a a big breeders site or e-mail one directly.

People should stop bashing the people that don't use the "search" button in Big Gunns opinion(the only one that matters). They are usually newbies that want some personal service, and to have some interaction on the forum. The people that always complain about this are the old time forum losers like Big Gunns that are sick of answering the same question. Just don't answer it anymore. Let someone else.

A forum is there to interact with other people and get information....not just for information. LEAVE THE MY NEWBIES ALONE. Big Gunns needs them to survive. They don't know him yet.

This ^^^ is definitely one of my big ones. Which sort of goes along with folks who can't be bothered with learning things themselves, but must have every drop of information spoon-fed to them. If you really love these animals, then it should be a pleasure to spend as much time as you can reading about them and scouring pictures and just...absorbing.

Another thing that really bugs me is when folks whine and cry because someone isn't nice to them. I mean...it'd be GREAT if every answer was given with polite civility. But this is the real world, and that just isn't going to happen. Some people just aren't skilled at being patient and diplomatic....some people get a charge out of being irritating. But either way...just deal with it and grow a slightly thicker skin....please.

Yeah....stop complaining about Big Gunns is what JLC is trying to say.
