If I really gave a crap about that board I would have said something tonight on it there, Speaking up, Taking a stand or whatever on any subject related to this hobby is our right and yet is one way we teach the new hobbyists so if feelings get hurt or people find this hobby is not what they thought it was or if they choose to not listen to our thoughts its noones loss. There are many sides, opinions and to me if a place like an aquarium, museum or public display that can influence more people than us is screwing up I dont care who they are they need to know that their is a hobby, united or not that dislikes, disagrees with or whatever they are doing and why. Offering help can only go so far when they are not based on the hobby but on profit. Its kind of like trying to help the local pet shop, they always think they know better. Only these people should know better.,,,and if they dislike what you say or deny free help on the matter why not make it clear publicly their ways are not respected by an experienced community on the matter.

I say keep preaching the anti-mixing.
When I first got interested in the hobby, I figured I'd get a few of each and put them in one viv. Then I saw a few mixing threads and did some more research, and learned why it wasn't a good idea for me. If I hadn't seen the anti-mixing threads, I would not have given it another thought; a pretty blue one and a pretty yellow one..
Now, a noob like me will (hopefully) decide against mixing, after reading the threads. Then, after we'd been around a while, and, had turned in our noob stripes, we would have researched even more and learned even more. If so inclined, maybe at that point we would feel ok to mix (I am against mixing PDFs at any level but that's just my opinion), but, as a noob, we would have known to wait because we saw those threads.
Do you know where your frogs have been?

Darts with parasites are analogous to mixed tanks, there are no known benefits to the frogs with either.
If tone is more important to you than content, you are at the wrong place.

I dont post all that much, do more thru pm when somebody asks a question. I started over there, and while Im not "scared" to post there, I just dont like the "environment" that its come to be. I think that it could possibly discourage new people from posting though. Here, its way more level headed, an actual debate, where both sides are discussed in a rational, logical, respectful manor (comparatively) and without the use of caplocks. There, I can see where it would be very confusing to a noob. There are so many different opinions from so many different people its hard to determine whats what, and who's who (who really knows and whos just talking out their butt-which happens alot).
