My very first comment on MFK, was rather memorable. A person was trying to sell a 3 foot american alligator. I had previously been a contributing member on Fauna, so I put my 2cents into the conversation. ( Which I should not have because upon spending more time on this site I realize it was not the place to do so. ) but regardless I thought I was helping.
" American Alligator Babies go for roughly 50-75$. When they get past 2-3 feet your hard pressed to find someone willing to take them for free " ---My very first post on MFK
"that was your first post on MFK- and you choose to talk crap on what shes trying to sell? did you just join today to badmouth the OPs stock? if so, do everyone a favor and climb back into your mother, because we dont want you- " --- My very first response on MFK
I reported the post and to my knowledge nothing was done to the member at the time. He is now banned, so I can't be sure what actually happen, this was 6-7 months ago or so.
Bullying is a problem I have seen on this website. Had i been a member of less self esteem i would have thought twice about posting or going on the website. But I am surrounded by so many experienced members on MFK it would make it damn near impossible to leave now lol.
People need to simply think before they speak. I strongly believe that a computer screen allows people to speak their mind, good and bad. Personally I could'nt live with myself if I treated people in real life the way I see people treated on some of these forums. People not only insult other members on this site and others, but degrade and demean them in a pathetic attempt to gain dominance in a thread?
Just my opinion.
