Don't you just love it when you try to be nice and give someone advice (that they asked for) and they come back with insults and snide remarks?! (Remarks that, if they had been on this forum for longer than a day and actually read some of my posts and threads they would have NOT said). *Sigh*........ breathe deep......... exhale........ onto the next post... lol. Anyone else have an experience like that here? (I'm finding this forum is wonderful and everyone I've met so far - barring one - has been so kind and polite).

Yes I did but I believe it was a misunderstanding as far as personalities. Some people just have a way and will not change and we need to understand that this is who they are and move on. that was once and never again that I know of because I stopped worrying about the responses I get.

Good advice! Most every one I've met here has been really great, so I'm definitely not afraid to advertise this forum as one of the most knowledgeable and friendly!

Lol, I'm sure my Mom would say the same about me.... must be a girl thing, lol. I was going to say thanks (I think I clicked the 'thanks' button in that thread) about you telling them the reason the betta is in the 1/2 gal. Thanks again.

When it comes to forums you really need to let things roll off like water and not let people bother you.
And Bev, I hardly go there myself anymore.

Well Holly, if you didn't go back in that thread with some form of comeback, then good for you. Not all of us can let things slide as easy. I have a bad habit of saying the first thing that pops to my head without cooling down a bit. Easy enough to delete what I say I guess. A lot of people on forums get stuff like that and don't want to come back. Some just aren't taken that well in the things that they say. I know I come across the wrong way most of the time. Sometimes you just have to say, "Oh well"......

Yeah, I know what you mean. I did respond and try to explain myself and I hope I didn't come off as too snippy. They did apologize in another post.... hopefully they stay on the forum.... I didn't mean to scare anyone away, I was just really upset with what they said.
