Am I glad to see you guys! Jesus, I joined a Facebook group a long time ago mainly just to browse people's tanks looking for inspiration, didn't really comment much. I happened to comment on a guys tank who didn't want to use gas whose plants looked like they were stretching to the surface. Also looked a bit stringy. All I done was suggested turning down the lights a bit and that some liquid carbon might help also and referenced Walsted about aerial growth and that might be the reason the plants were stretching. Fair comment?
Well, did I get it big style! This guy came back with someone, who to be fair seemed to know and do a bit and what happened next can only be described as a total onslaught and character assassination. My phone is constantly bleeping non stop of people pulling everything I said apart, saying I haven't got a clue what I'm talking about. It's as if suggesting LC was in in the same league as feeding bleach to babies.
Worst of it is, now I don't want to leave the group in case they all think there he goes with his tail between his legs, told you he was all wrong. I've hit the point now where the messages have truncated that much into sub conversations I can't even keep up with who's slagging me off now. What is wrong with the people? Seems like a mainly a US group (No offence to any US members) but they just don't seem to accept any debate whatsoever and there appears to be some people who know there stuff followed by little groups of minions who hang out of their @rse$ hanging off every word without any input from themselves. The best you can hope for is a GIF off them calling you an idiot even when you link scientific papers proving what you're saying has some credence.
What a really bad experience, anyone else came across this? Doesn't sit well with me, I'm more of a puchy facey type person (Not clever I know but I'm working on it) than a keyboard warrior but honestly, so agitated right now.
