I'm having fun...and in the end you have the tank, you decide what you do and you enjoy it...I like my little tank and am going to have fun making it look great and stay healthy...that's the main idea. So have fun with it!

Well I'm having fun and I think Wes joined because he saw he was missing out on all this entertainment. A little debate is good for everyone and judging by the views we get on some of these threads others are definitely enjoying all this as well. You can't seriously be that sheltered were a little debate and a few smiley's make you run home to mommy This is all fun stuff what would you rather talk about? Rainbows and unicorns?
If you can't tell, I'm just kidding

I work with teenage prostitutes and drug addicts, and the last thing I need on Canreef is more bickering. And the smilies don't hide the antagonism and aggravation behind much of the "debate"...so no, it's not enjoyable for me. Sorry.

I'm having fun

Every debate/discussion is beneficial and builds you either by reinforcing what you already know or making you realize that you might need to rethink something... in either case you're better off. People learn by discussion which includes debate which is PART of the reason these forums like this exist, so we all can learn. So far I've learned about more than just fish And generally when people always agree nothing changes... and then things would never improve... we've got so much important stuff ironed out so that in the future there will slowly be less and less problem sources.

If you don't like the debate/discussion you don't have to participate... just build your tank... but I don't really understand how you have problems with discussions like this and then you contribute something completely unproductive like the above statement^.

We all make our own beds and do what we do for a reason, some people like helping others but you can't expect special treatment for it. Nobody's forcing anyone to participate in any of these discusions or even read them for that matter. So if you don't enjoy reading something the obvious solution would be to....

The earth revolves around the sun, not individual people and their opinions.

Seriously... I absolutely do NOT want you to drop out.

That being said I don't mind a good discussion or even debate... and to be perfectly honest I think you don't mind one either or you wouldn't be playing the "devils advocate" as often as you do and so clearly state.

So there are a few hiccups and a few rule changes... it's the first go around... lets just weather the storm and I'm sure we'll all have a good time
