Ana big group hug to boot.navygirl76;1245657; said:ok, i know jeae21 catches ALOT of hell on this board--i have read alot of his questions in the past(and i admit, some of them are doozies). for some of us that have had fish for years, these may come across as retarded questions.. but he is asking because he truly doesnt know the answer.
I myself have tried to direct him to get books and read up on what he stocks and to just do general research on the net, but he finds it easier to just get answers here i guess.I get the impression that he comes here because he has noone else to ask (in real life),and he gets the BEST answers on this forum(take that as a compliment guys!)--amid the sometimes open hostility he receives.
I admit, his reply wasnt the friendliest, but i think its out of frusteration that he was excited that he was doing something he felt was cool (and had taken one more step to being a true monster keeper and do it yourselfer!)--and wanted praise from everyone here, and instead he got snapped at.
I remember being new and in his shoes, and i have alot of patience (i work on a psych ward) so i guess i just feel bad for him sometimes for the crap he takes, and he still keeps coming back with more questions... if i were him, i wouldve left this forum long ago.. i just feel that if someone doesnt like his questions, or thinks he is stupid, then simply dont reply to his posts--just skip over them.
jeae21--like ive said before--keep asking questions, keep researching and sharing with us, and well share with you--please post your pics because we want to see what you did!!
now-i think what we really need is to all hold hands in a circle and sing "Coombaya" lol
kidding
I think it's great he pursued a stand.
I think it's great he asks Q's.
You got to learn somehow, somewhere.
This place is great for that (with the occasional exception of course).
I don't think it's cool for him to be slammed/flamed, whatever for simply posting a link to the pics. instead of the actual.
And no question is bad if you consider that we were all beginners once, in lots more areas than keeping fish.
