Should I just leave this forum?

Comon' people.
We're not a dictorship forum. You can't tell tell people to go just because you disagree with what they say. Everyone is entitled to free speech. If someone wants to talk out of their rear sphincter muscles, then so be it....
If someone considers something that has been said to be offensive, report it and something will be done about it.
IMO it would be wrong to drum out a member because they may have made a comment that offended. Everybody is entitled to their opinion. If the administrator or moderator decided it was offensive and provacative then it would be for a quite chat with the member, not a lynching mob.

Drobbin, you are still welcome to stay.

IT WAS HIM THAT ASKED!!!

No-one mentioned leaving before he drew more attention to himself. I don't think people are being hard on him at all. The 'votes' are pretty even and most people commenting have said that it would be good if he stayed. Only want him to stop with the polls and with the provocative threads.

This "free speech" that everyone's entitled to is what has been exercised on this thread. He made the poll, no-one else.

The only post I saw that was dumb was the I hate bettas post. But now after reading all this I'm starting to wonder why you are posting these things.

I also wanna know... you asked to do some special effects with a pic of mine and I was nice enough to e-mail it to you. Your not going around saying it's your fish or something are you? Trying to sell it on ebay? lol

Everyone just needs to take a deep breath... count to ten....

If you want my honest opinion - and you did ask for it - you're a kid looking for attention. When anyone acts the way you have recently, deliberately trying to stir the pot in a friendly community ("Oh, today for kicks I fed a guppy to an Oscar in the pets store, I CAN'T WAIT to hear what you bleeding heart guppy-lovers have to say about that"), I encourage everyone to do what I do - ignore you.

The one surefire way to get rid of trolls (and you *have* been one lately) is to refuse to give them the one thing they're desperately trying to get - attention. Flaming them won't work. Ranting at them in PM won't work. Complaining to their parents won't work. You just ignore them, and that's why I almost hate to even respond to your question to begin with. If you don't have something resourceful to post, then don't. None of us want to hear every half-cocked thought that runs through your head, or are particularly interested in your hijinx (if they even occur in reality).

If you want to be a contributing, resourceful member of this community, then by all means stay - and shape up! If you have no intention of changing, then yes - save me (and hoepfully everyone else) the trouble of ignoring you and go away.

pendragon!

Thanks, Pendragon.

This is the statement I should have made last night.

To anyone that was angered by my obviously poorly worded post in the last thread, I sincerely apologize. I wish no ill-will upon anyone in the forum, including drobbins.

Now let's get back to the fish...

 

[drobbins27]

I will forgive you if you promise not to post topics like "I hate bettas", or "I fed a guppy to an oscar." You can be really helpful when you want to, so I think you need to do more of that.

i said stay

but since everybody has finished offering their opinions i won't offer mine, i don't want it all to start up again!

 

[Shizat]

You remind me of some young boys that always come in and harass all the fish. Once they took a betta and put it in some cat litter and blew it up with a fire work and ran to the other side of the store like I didnt see them. I took 2 of their bicycles and threw them in the dumpster out back. Little ratboys havent come back since.

 

[MasterDrummer]

You should stay. ther's nothing wrong with stating your opinion.

Cheese specialist, you tihnk you know everything. If I wanted popularity, I would post DO YOU LOVE ME? or something like that. Read what I put as my first comment, thats the truth.

You know this is a better way to get people to cry out for you to stay than a "do you love me" And we kno you do don't insult our inteligence. Just cut back a bit on the extranious posting. The reason cheese doesn't like you is that she finds that you are going out of yourway to be childish just like St. Cichilid did not that you are even 10% as bad as St. was (god that Kid was sooooo creepy!) The general consensis has been "stay but cut back" and I agree like the daily fish match up that needs to go we are a fish keeping forum not a fish fighting forum It was okay untill I realised how very arbitrary it was and on reflection it seems to me that it may be indicative of some agresion issues. Also you should look into reading past posts on our questions before you ask them.

JMHO
