Point taken...but kindly consider how YOU come off? A person comes here trying to be of help... and experience is relevant. (try to get a job without it?). I do agree that just because you have kept so many & for so long, it does not mean you are right...it also does NOT mean you are wrong. It has been my experience that ppl on forums learn much from each other, at least when they are not bogged down in petty stuff like this. I 'get' that this is your pet peeve (Terranaut & smy_749)...but did we really need that in the thread???

Honestly I'd heard that ppl are rude on here but I kept an open mind & came on anyway. I think you might try the polite approach: you could have expressed yourself in a private message, not keep taking a thread off-topic? But hey, what do I know? I might find better things to do and leave you all to your sandbox. Or, we can start over & be nicer?

sounds good. Every forum has rude people, this one is actually considerably less than others but none are arsehole free.

Come off?? If I was coming off at you I would have posted something other than just the link. Keep your pants on, nobody was insulting anyone or being rude. I was showing you there is a thread ti talk about people who insist that they must be right based on length of time herping or number of animals owned. This was not the thread. The link is one to complain in. Nobody said you were wrong and this site is not full of rude people ,it's a tight community where people who try to start crap and rock tge boat are not welcome and chased out. We love our little forum here so please contribute constructively or move along is how it's done. Oposing views is how things get sorted out and newer better things for our hobby emerge.
Now back to our regularly scheduled thread and yes we can be nice and friends
