Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nicolas C" data-source="post: 86303" data-attributes="member: 3795">Dear all, wouldn't it be better if we focus on our passions: tarantulas, scorpions, roaches, snakes, music, etc.? Let us not turn this wonderful forum in something bitter and uncomfortable. Let's keep it family friendly.I've been a user of AB, and I still check it once in a while. But I left because I was disappointed by the behavior of some (few) members, who were so judging and harsh (typically: "you don't have enough experience to keep an OBT, how dare you?!" and downward it went...). I really like reading most of their members, but only when they are helpful and not full of disdain. And I like TarantulaForum not to be like this: we focus on the questions, not trying to either: imagine who the member is, or what are his/her skills and experience, or judging him/her, etc.I have the feeling that this very discussion is about to turn (has already turned?) in a bad AB caricature. We are not here to speak about another forum nor its members, we are not here to speak about the mods nor other members. We are here to share what we love, our experiences, or questions and, as Kymura reminds us: our photos! And I really do appreciate when we do it with a smile (thanks Phil, among others!).Maybe I sound preachy... Sorry for this, it's not my intention. But I really want all of us to keep this forum a mature and friendly place. (... when I say "mature", I really hope you get it in the good sense, of course...!)</blockquote>
