I agree it wasn't one of my more tactful posts but I don't see it as an attack and am not embarrassed by it - wtf. I didn't call anyone names or threaten them. I simply asked why buccal insistently kept answering questions on others behalf and why he felt the need to respond with what he thought my response would be. I don't think it's unusual for me or anyone else to feel annoyed by that and I hardly picked up a bat and whacked him over the head - pmsl. I might have to go join the girl scouts forum because fishkeepers are way too sensitive for me to interact with.
However, I'm genuinely sorry buccal that these questions have upset you so much. Obviously we don't see eye to eye and have very different views about the hobby and fishkeeping in general - doesn't have to be a big deal. I have no problem with you posting here if that's what you want to do, but you're going to have to grow some thicker skin, especially if you're going to intentionally antagonise me with comments like "big boy of the big boys club" or that other one about being wise - lol. You take it so personally when someone else has a different opinion to you, like it's an affront to your intelligence or your appointment as an "authority on fishkeeping". Just relax a bit and lose the chip on your shoulder that drives you to be always right - it's an unecessary pressure you place on yourself, which makes it so hard for anyone else to have input, lest they hurt your feelings and end up in a non-sensical debate until you're satisfied that you look like you know what you're talking about again.
And johnno, PCS committee is not the military and if it were, I would be a foot soldier.
