I feel the same as Anya on this. Looking at my first threads I posted, I feel fortunate that members like @Kaorte took an interest and were kind to me in my ignorance. I look at some newbie posters (who have been misinformed by other sites and their "reptile friends") and see them TORN UP by some people. "You need to buy this"; "What did you do that for?"; "What do you think you're doing?"...
Ive been trying to preempt some of this bombastic criticism by keepin an eye out for new posters and trying to kindly direct them to the better way (just like y'all did for me)
There still are a lot of threads that come across as being negative/accusatory, but I don't think that will go away. We just have to do our part to keep the air positive as possible
