Scientific and common names

And some don't even keep venomous... and still stick the knife in!

I hope that wasn't directed at me... I was merely clarifying a point that was previously made by others, not trying to instigate anything any further.

Posting from Jon Davidson and following post from Stephan Niemann deleted. No personal attacks, please!

Please calm down, Ladies and Gentlemen - otherwise I'd be sorry to close here!

and @David
where's the board rule saying non venomous keepers can't participate on general discussions?

Thank you

regards
Peter

Peter,

In other words. You want things to calm down, but directly after that your are more or less pointing fingers at David. I think everybody has said what he/she wanted to say.

Can't we just quit this subject and continue doing what we have always been doing? sharing pictures and info of the animals we all love?
It's getting more and more quiet at this forum when it comes to interesting threads. I guess nobody is in favor of that.

Cheers,

Jelmer

no pointing fingers at all.
I had to remove a remark written by David, which could have affronted other users.
That's, beside other things, my job here.
Further on I asked him:

Quote :: where's the board rule saying non venomous keepers can't participate on general discussions?

This seems to be a legitimate question from my sight. Nobody here has the right to bar others from any discussion in my opinion. I didn't like the remarks of Jessica and cannot agree with most parts of'em, but i'll stand for her right to write it here!

Best regards
Peter

i seen the complette post by david nixon so i have to agree with peters action there
for all the respekt i have for david and his knowledge it was not a nice tihng to say
wich was the reason i wrote such an asnwer to mr davidsons post wich peter deleted wich is ifne with me since he deleted the post calling my answer aswell

Don't get me wrong. I'm not criticising Peter's work as a moderator. I don't even know exactly what David said, so I'm not the one to judge that.

All I'm saying is that if we want to let things calm down, maybe at some point we should just let things be and continue with what we we're doing in the first place. In my opinion that would be the best for the forum and it's users.
Looking back at what this discussion was really about, I think everybody has made his/her point.

Cheers,

Jelmer

Peter,

I have never spoken out of term on this forum, but you are missing the point my friend - close the thread and have done!

You are here to police the forum, and as it stands there is a riot in the street, and only you can stop it Smile

We all get on just fine, and if I'm honest I don't think anybody would dare to use such "common slang" about their poison pogo-sticks" from now on Very Happy

Joke.....

Come on guys - spread the love.... it's Hamm soon.....

Best,

Dave

Compared to other forums I am a part of this is easily the most civilized discussion I have seen! I was slightly annoyed with the earlier comments which is what prompted my post but over all everything has seemed very well mannered and controlled even though some of us may vehemently disagree with others.
I hope that future disagreement remain as civilized as this has. Everyone has the right to their opinions and it is nice to see people acknowledge that fact.
