Come on guys. There's no need to start attacking each other. Character assassination is never productive.

I think this situation should be an "agree to disagree" and leave it at that.

Agreed!

I agree with dragonflie. I'll say only one more thing about this. Over at that other forum, once one person jumps on someone, the whole group of them jump on the bandwagon. Then it can get nasty. I saw that happen to another member who had an issue with a mod. First of all, in that situation, the person should have gone to that mod privately instead of airing things out on the open forum. They attacked that person then started getting vulgar. That was why I left that forum. I didn't like how their "18 plus" crap had leaked out in the open forum for kids to read.

What would possibly be in a betta forum that would be 18+? I don't get it...

[dramaqueen]

18+ was an "adult" forum that you had to have a special password for.

[Neil D]

On a betta forum?

Or is it just basically a "Lounge" for adults?

[dramaqueen]

Yes, on a betta forum.

[Neil D]

Was it like a lounge? Or was it "mature content"?

Every time you spend money at Walmart, you financially support the way they treat their bettas.

Rant: I hate my Petsmart!

So I had three otos which I loved very much but they weren't right for my tanks. They poop. A LOT. Now, first I should say that the employee who sold me both the otos and my tetras isn't very friendly. It would be a stretch to say she is barely civil. She told me if I bought 6 tetras at one time, they would die on the way home. By the way, they are happy and brightly colored and swimming around my tank very much alive. So anyway, I went to return the otos. Turns out SHE didn't label the bag properly so I was only charged for 2 and because I supposedly own the 3rd, she wouldn't even take it back. I was stuck with one sad oto that I had no idea what to do with. When I mentioned that I had no idea what to do with him, she told me to go "pour him into a lake." I said that is illegal and she mumbled something about yeah yeah but that's what other people do. Soooo. Since this is one of many not so happy experiences there, I can say I am not shopping at that Petsmart again. I'll drive 15 minutes to an expensive LFS to get my fish before I go there and it's only five minutes away.

Grrrrrrr, Petsmart!
