also, there's a lot of great reason for a report post button, like if you need a thread moved, double posts, **** spammer bots hocking gambling sites that sell ipods
Jeezee Miguel, your must be some kind of flame magnet dude.
I understand what you are trying to do trust me. I'm a jeweler/goldsmith/designer and I used to cruise the jewelry and diamond chat groups. I'm just lucky that I still have a tongue left in my mouth from all the biting it has taken.
That's why I now participate in groups based only on my hobbies.
The internet has made lots of "experts" in lots of fields.
As someone else said before, without being able to hear a persons tone, it's very easy to read the wrong intention into their statement. I also think it's a little too easy to hit the "submit" button without thinking things through.
Keep on keepin on as long as your bloodpressure holds out. You're good people Miguel.
I wasn't flaming and Miguel isn't in any trouble and you haven't messed up the vibe here either. The idenification of LPS is bad science in those peticular families(mussid,favia, favites ect...) unless you have some of the skeleton in front of you anyway. Some are easier then others but to be exact is not at all really possiable from a picture of a speciman in a tank with subjective lighting and only looking at a frag of what was once a whole.......I agree the button would be a nice addition.
Sorry about that Azurel. I wasn't referring to you at all.
Miguel is a prolific contributer. I was just saying that it seems that folks like to take a dip at him from time to time. I have to admit, I like good debate from time to time. It just stops being a debate as soon as things get personal.
I wish there were an "ignore post" button because I find myself with out the self control to stop watching stuff like that. :twisted:
It now appears that someone else has stepped in to be the punching bag in that thread. :shock: That was gutsy John.
I too do not find the vibe messed up at all. I like this group.
No problem at all.....
I didn't think so but I just wanted to be clear a bit.....As a mod here I have to be somewhat clearer then if I wasn't. This way nobody thinks I am oversteping any bounds.....The last thing I want is to be considered like other mods on other sites.......But yes I have seen Miguel take a few body shots from time to time. I hope that it can be settled and done with.
You know, I have to say that when I first started liking Miguel was when he had the presence of mind not to sink to Mr. Coral's level... which includes not being bribed with thinly veiled slander, imo...
