Re: Toxic Plastic--What A Gas!

This is a forum to help people and exchange ideas, and doing that is fantastic! What she is doing is not just exchanging ideas, she is preaching, being rude, arrogant, judgmental and irritating. I Come here to relax and continue my education on ball pythons. Not get infuriated because someone thinks she is better then everybody and continues to try flaunt and push it in everyone's face.
 Probobly just going to get told not to read her posts anymore, but I thought I'd throw that out there, I don't know how many people feel the way I do, but this kind of crap is not the reason I come here and needs to be put to an end!
You're right in that no rules have been broken here...although if I wanted to get extremely nit-picky, I might think calling her a "Ms Knowitall" might be construed as name-calling.
Yes, it IS very annoying at times when someone gets on a really big soapbox about a particular issue they are passionate about...most especially when their position doesn't seem to be backed up by anything but personal opinion. But...do you ("you" being anyone reading and participating in this thread, not necessarily just the member being quoted)...do you really think that the overall participation in this thread has been beneficial to the site?
We get complaints that so-n-so really shouldn't be starting such an annoying thread because it doesn't help the site....but at the same time, the same folks making such a complaint spend their time mocking and otherwise deriding the points made in the original post. Which is more harmful to the overall atmosphere of the site? The original post? Or all the mocking scorn that comes after it?
Seriously....I don't agree with her position. And I don't mind anyone offering up an attempt at a logical, reasonable rebuttal. But all the negative posts made AFTER the original offending post are just as bad, if not worse.
So yeah....I'll just tell everyone who doesn't like what she has to say to simply skip her threads or put her on Ignore altogether. But so long as she respects the site and the rules of the site, she has just as much right to express her opinion here as everyone else.
