Good to know. Brackish keepers are exceedingly few.
IMHO even that would have been a much better thread title "I am extremely repulsed".
For the sake of the argument, wrong ID is overall not a big offense. Many commit it, myself included. I once thought I had two 2' bullheads, which turned out to be channel catfish. Now I can say, duh!? But back then I was pointed out wrong and, praise the Lord, no one (on Planet Catfish) called me an idiot for the whole world to hear.
Time goes on. People learn. Few don't but I'd say let them be. People are free.
If you really want to make a difference, why not create your own channel, which anyone can do, and educate the world on what's right and wrong? You can do it with your tanks and activities and also reference and use videos like this one of Joey's as an example. An aquariumist critic channel. I'd aim to do it constructively and politely. Praise him for what he's done good and right and suggest what you'd do differently.
Doing it on MFK is good too but it's also a bit like preaching to the quire. Besides, the video was published Sep 21 2018 and today it's got well over 1 million views. Posting on MFK will not do much at all to counterbalance the harm this video has been causing.
Just my $0.02.
No problem, mate. My critique was directed at our brother Adrian the OP first and foremost. My suggestion could be used by you too. Make a channel. Educate. Raise awareness. Promote good. Do it artfully, tastefully, engagingly, and like a gentleman. People are attracted to goodness even if subconsciously. That would take a bite out of the harmful videos out there. One video, one view at a time. Otherwise, it's all bark. Moreover, a bark behind someone's back.
I am not saying I want to have you or Adrian call Joey an idiot in his face. I don't want it to be done in face or behind back. Behind back is cowardly. In face is stupid. If someone says "Oh I have no problem saying it to his face" that's all fine and dandy and this person may have the integrity but chances are this integrity won't help him die of natural causes. It will most likely be from a gunshot or a knife stab on a street sooner or later. Being polite has its perks too, like dying in your bed surrounded by your children and grandchildren, having confessed and communed and made peace with all before death.
And not calling someone an idiot to their face would not be done out of cowardice but because your Daddy and your Mommy raised a gentleman and no fool. Such people will not look the other way when bullies gang up on one guy, or a guy harrasses or gropes a girl, or a robber snatches grandmother's purse, or a shooter points a gun at your classmates, or a car with someone inside catches on fire, or an enemy attacks your country, etc.
That's heroism. It's stupid to die in a rage case over a fish or because someone cut and flipped you off.
I have. Half of them are critical. Not sure what you are hinting at here? I think they are well balanced from reading 3-4 pages worth.
Catch'em all guy is Zak and Joey is his student and sidekick. Zak makes a living off YouTube, I imagine, and Joey would like too. They both came to my place a couple of times, one time with Zak adopting an RTC and a pacu before I knew better.
