BP Lifestyle/Culture (Question heavy)

[Mike41793]

I feel that the community of BP owners is pretty sectional. I wouldn't want to call it elitist, but there are people who look down from the top of the mountain claiming they were here first: respect me.

And that kind of attitude just fractures the community. I would apply the term sectionalism, but it's pretty personality based. Some people hate new people, and are concerned about themselves over education.

I actually completely disagree with you. I have not seen 1 bp.net veteran EVER talk down to a newbie or try to sound elitist. I mean sure theres times when some of us come off like that but its very rare. Like when a new person says in their first thread they dont have a t-stat and dont think they need one, then im ok with sounding like a bit of a know it all bc the animal is at risk.

I also have never seen anyone say or even hint to the fact that they hate new people and are only in it for themselves. Once again, some people may sorta show that kind of attitude every once in awhile but its rare. And i would honestly just attest that to their personality in life in general, not just in the herp community.
