Its difficult, sometimes, to find a place for ones self when you do not accept any compromise. I think that if PhishKeeper stuck around or comes back that he/she will realize that most of us do not condone cruelty to animals as she/he seems to suspect. I'm still not sure how they acheive the brilliant colors on those fish and don't really approve myself, however they do it. But I believe that to affect change, it would be more effective to stick around and express my opinion instead of isolate myself to a group that already hold my views. I personally dyed my own skin (tattoo) with a picture and the word "Temperance". Temperance is the avoidance of any extremes and the commitment to always attempt to improve myself. When I was in high school I was part of the out crowd, I had long hair, wore a wallet with a chain on it, and listened to heavy metal music (Ok I wasn't all that radical, but you get the point I hope). I hung out with people who were "hard core" Then I realized we were all just making it harder for ourselves. It was amazing how differently people treated me when I got a haircut, shaved off my nasty sideburns and wore respectable clothes. I don't think that everyone should avoid extremes, that would be an extreme itself. Anyway I guess the point is: You've got to compromise sometimes.
PhishKeeper: One thing I did decipher from bobrobs slang was that he/she is 15 years old. Don't let a single 15 year old drive you off of our board. She/he is entitled to his/her own opinion and has just as much right as any of us to express it. But she/he does not represent the rest of our views.
