how much is enough

[Joe M]

I am surely trying, but this forum seems to really thrive on negativity ,,oh yeah i ve raised a few eyebrows in the past but never with the intentions of hurting anyone unless by invitation,, meaning if you diss me first i will diss you back , it can be healthy if its done properly .......

Look, I don't want to get into anything again, and I'm not going too. I just don't get why you need to be so, well, abrasive with everyone. I understand that we had a disagreement in the past, but its not asking a lot for people to want you to be a little "gentler" in your statements. I know you've been met with some criticism by some people (including me), but that's not a reason to insult and call people names (which unfortunately I was also guilty of, only once, and I didn't make a thread to do it.).

I saw the pictures (amongst other things) in the thread you made a while ago, and I know the fish is yours, and its a very nice fish. It's just that the way you did that goes to show that you either take things way too seriously, or you just enjoy going out of your way to try to make people look evil or something. It just seems unnecessary.

Again, I am not trying to be hostile, so don't take it that way. It would just be greatly appreciated if you would be a little nicer and more direct with people, instead of what seem like riddles at times.

You mean the pics thread I mentioned several pages ago? The one that got deleted, there's no link...

I was deleted. I don't know if you can take my word for it or not, but I can assure you that there were pictures of the fish along with several koi, and the OP's pet cat next to the tank as well. I was skeptical at first also, but I saw the proof.

Well, i've been reading through old threads OP has replied to, and he/she seems to act elitist to everyone because they own a pima.

Almost every post is about how they own a pima... it's the best fish in the world.. blah blah...

Yeah, it's a nice fish.. but if you can't keep it PROPERLY for life, don't keep it!

No one seems to care that this fish will probably be in this tank for life.. it's way too small.

All I want is for the OP to post the pics that were posted in that thread, and yet they keep evading the requests.

lets say that money is not an obstacle in your life and you are really interested in this unusual looking fish which is probably not worth the asking price but the seller is aware of your money potential and your craving for the fish would you fail in his trap or resist the temptation//////// BTW Iam talking 5000 $ at least //////////

If money is no obstacle then I suppose you've already answered your own question. Fish could live 20-25 years. I know people who routinely spend 5k for German shepards that only live about 10 years. Had dinner tonite with a couple that own a 5k dog. If you consider your fish pets I really don't see much difference.

What? I'm not monitoring anything, that is the mods job. Just spending some time after a long day looking around this website, as I always do. I really don't understand what you mean with the last part of your statement.

I'm not sure how to take you. I kinda wanted to make peace regarding what happened, but your making that task very difficult.

that was meant to be a compliment Joe ,,,look at one of ur earlier post on this thread where you stated that you have personally seen the pics of the tank and the fish , wich is what this whole brahaha seems to be about , is in itself a mild form of,,, mods, LOL , certainly more soothing than the term witness in this particular context Just sayin T ake Care JOE
