I'm not really sure if creating thread ranting about what I feel is a very small and minor thing was really the way to positively make a change in this forum. It's always good to be reminded, but casting your own radical judgment on the entirety of a forum might not have the desired effect, but rather start something like an internet flame war. And we all know where those go.
Again, while each of us is entitled to our opinion, I certainly don't think the atmosphere of this site is so troubled and condescending that the validity of the site is brought into question.
There are moderators for a reason, a rep system in for a reason. Take some action with posts you find particularly distasteful and do something about it.
I urge any member to visit other reptile forums and get a feel for them. This site is definitely one of the best out there. I say that from my own experience, I'm a member of a lot of forums.
