only 2 more people to go the way of REC (oh how he will be missed lmfao) and the forum will be so much calmer. Sorry I know this is one of the sly little comments that bother you. But honestly you are complaining about being flamed by flaming other people and calling everyone who tells you how to keep fish idiots!!! Go start you own site somewhere where the Masters benfica and Dovii88 can give their expert opinions on fishkeeping and nobody else is allowed to post.

It was the lack of "stocking police" that attracted me to MFK from other more anal sites in the first place ... I hope this isn't a trend that will continue into the future1 
This thread is funny. some random thoughts:
Seriously, If someone posted on a dog board that they lived in a small studio apt and they just got 3 great dane puppies, but not to worry since they plan on giving them back to the dog pound once they get too big, all hell would break loose! So why would someone not expect the same thing to happen here?
There are plenty of cool fish that could live a long happy life is a 50 gallon tank, buy them instead.
Just like there are lots of cool small dogs that would do well in a studio apt.
It's just reasonable. Reason is key!
also, there are lots of people who really don't know how big fish get. This place isn't just for experts, it's great for newbies too, who better to learn from right? I wish I had a place like this to go to when I was starting, well there wasn't an internet, but you know...
But, yes, repeating something 10 times in one thread would be annoying just like posting this:
when someone ask a question, it's snobbish.
That said, if you love fish, then you should try to help people who don't really know what they are doing, or appear not to know what they are doing, but try to be nice about it, of course it doesn't mean that they will listen but it's worth trying, for the fish's sake.

I think in the case of Dovii88 and LargeCichlids it wasn't so much flaming but more a solid dose of Tough Love and it was needed in my opinion. But obviously tough love is not allowed here as it is on other fish forum's. You will join a long list of banned members for giving such advise. Hell look at what happend to REC.
it's hard to feel or see a persons emotions in any chat room or fourm... sometimes it can even be hard to tell a joke from being serious....if you come out right off the bat swearing one of two things could be up maybe your just a A** or your drunk and come back the next day in all sorrow....people should get along and be happy
