Artificial reef and corals?

[daniella3d]

People are offended way too easily. Seem that it's easier to see a bad side to a post then the other way around.

So what if I don't like artificial display in a tank? why should that offend anyone? it's my taste. who cares what I think if they like it then they should put it in their tank.

Often when people learn that my artificial sponges are artificial they reply that I am ruining my tank with fake sponges. Do I care? not one bit

I simply put them in my tank because I like them. I do not need anyone to agree with me on that one, it's my tank and mine alone. I have done it for myself, not for anyone else, and of course for the comfort of my reef inhabitants.

Anyone putting such thread can expect to read various opinions, good or bad about arficial display.

I've had my run-ins with Daniella in the past, but have learned to respect her opinion. If anything, she might not be as articulate (another word for long winded) in English and come across as too blunt at times.

Nobody cares that you like or dislike artificial reefs. People including myself were offended that you insulted a members tank as explained in the PM I sent you. You always have to have the last word and hopefully this time it'll be sorry to Mr Hassan

Perhaps that she likes artificial sponges

Feeling a little embarrassed since the whole artificial reef has turned to me

Nothing wrong with having a little fun with your tank!

it was actually me that pointed out mrhasan's tank.

Now I feel bad. Sorry for dragging you into this. Was just pointing out the novelty of it.

Let's just agree to disagree, and let it go. Very few people have any energy left to care about such an inconsequential issue.

Don't worry about it. I am kinda enjoying it too since my tank is kinda like the center of attention Mine should be the tank of the month (version: that brought in many words)

Oh, and I like bacon cheese burgers and they are full of artificial stuff too. There is my good and helpful post for the day!

It was more meant as a joke/teasing way, not in an insulting way.

But most of the time people like to see it as insulting rather than the other way around. I also notice that French people are way harder to offend thqan English people so there must be a good part of the culture behind this.

I guess we are not offended so easily, generally speaking.
