Personally, I'm really sorry that you've felt that you'd get and that you felt bashed by folks on this site. Having been hanging around b-p.net for a couple of years and spending time on other reptile forums, I feel experienced enough to say that I personally think b-p.net is one of the better if not the best at being friendly and helpful; I know it is something that many of us regulars certainly strive for.

But I'm sure many of the regulars here will agree with me that we as a community, unfortunately, aren't perfect and it is hard sometimes to answer what seems like "the same question" "yet again". It's a bad attitude and it sometimes get the better of us.

Your post is a good reminder to us all to be nice and stretch out to all new folks to this site so that we can set this place apart as the nice place with good information.

Please give us a second chance and I think I can speak for the rest of the community here to say we are truly sorry if you felt abused and unwelcome. That is so not the intention here. =)
