Cheetf and avex30, this thread has already caught the attention of the moderating team and I suggest that the names calling and whatever un warranted comments be stop this instance.

Let us all make AQ a place where we can learn from each other and help promote this hobby without malice.

Cheers!!

Dear Mod

1st - i don't see me doing name calling
2nd - The 1st mistake was to use this as a sales thread
3rd - i am just pointing that this is not right if like i said if it is like those nano setup yes. We can consider it a hobby and greatly promote it. How is it consider a hobby when you don't do water change and don't feed??
4th - This is hardly a hobby it like selling a ornamental thing to be put in one of your desk more like for show rather than a hobby.
5th - Great this is a forum and yes we should share but if you see something cruel being done wouldn't you feel displease about it.

Let show example animal rights have been all this years trying hard to change the people mindset of put sharp knife on fighting cock cause they are cruelty to these fowl?
Animal rights also all this years trying to prevent shark hunting for their fins. Just because this shrimp are tiny do they need to be subject to such extreme???
Or must we wait till animal right start to notice such inhumane act than we all starts to voice?? Like i said it a forum i am just voicing such act it KILL the HOBBY.

Thanks for reading my ranting.

hi Avex30,

I appreciate your reply and please allow me to offer my apology here if i have offended you in one way or another. I have read through all relevant post and yes, you are right to point out that neither you nor cheetf did engage in name calling. My intent in posting thread number 19 was more to caution then to reprimand.

And being a fellow nature lover, I would say that I too do not agree of cruelty towards animals and in all my work, I have been promoting the message of responsible pet ownership by using the word "SAFARI: to be a responsible pet owner, you will need the following values/habits: SINCERITY, ACCOUNTABILITY, FIRMNESS, ALERTNESS OF MIND, READ UP and INQUISITIVE MIND" But my question here is while we are passionate of the cause that we are promoting, would it be wiser to either bring it behind the scene through PM or email?

While there is a place for face to face confrontation, I firmly and sincerely believe that AQ is NOT the place to do it, surely not in the open forum.

Like I say, we are all here to learn about the hobby, promote the hobby and enjoy the hobby.

I hope that I have made myself clear and should there be any differences in opinion, you are most welcome to discuss with me via pm.

Regards.
