Some of them see/hear comments like that and they don't think "Oh, haha, funny joke", they can see it as a valid reason why possession of certain exotic species should remain or become illegal. If certain hobbyists encourage the release of exotic species why should they have access to them? People only make their job harder by releasing certain fish into the wild.
So while perhaps Polypterus could have been a bit more tactful, he's still right. People that have views such as yours are part of the reason why certain species will remain unavailable to the public. While you may not actually engage in those sort of activities, just saying that you actually hope someone would release a non-native species into the wild looks bad for all of us.
Yep that covers it.....
And sorry but Tact / kindness is generally a wasted mental process that can be better placed elsewhere than in response to uneducated spam posts.
It is funny to me how the definition of Troll is used on this site.....Spam is a good post and Trolls are those that do not tolerate spam or do not "sugar coat" their thoughts about serious issues to this hobby.
I can however, through nothing but anecdotal opinion, bash the crap out of someone, insult them and make them cry for keeping a "large" fish in a small tank and be the hero of all MFK'ers...
Really interesting how serious ecologic and legal issues are treated (as well as those that mention them are treated) compared to what is inane stupid flatulence...
All bow to the fart god....
HeHeHE HE HE....he said fart....
