I'm going to take this seriously. Yesterday was an extreme weather day and I was stuck inside. I pulled out some AKA killifish journals, and read them. I was deeply impressed by how a review that paid no authors had such quality in it. Every article was someone who had worked to solve a problem, do some research, share some knowledge. They were ordinary aquarists who consistently produced something extraordinary you had to feel respect for as you read. I enjoyed that. There are smart, curious people in this hobby of ours.
And the along came
@TheLavenderBadger 's discovery of that article to pull the chair away just when I was feeling all warm and fuzzy about fishkeeping humanity!
The writing's lazy, unintelligent and empty. Maybe it's trolling, I dunno. Maybe someone thought it was funny to be dumb and put it up there under a fake name with a stock picture. The author can't write, and there can't have been more than an hour's effort in the whole thing. If you walked into a fish convention and decided to do a shock, dumb and dumber comedy routine designed to rile up the smart people, that could be the script.
That, or the author has just chosen which pet chain to manage a store for after a furious corporate bidding war for her expertise. Maybe it was a smart career move.
