Marvin, it's obvious you have some experience and knowledge that would be well shared on this forum.

But your tone makes people not want to listen to you. You're hardly ever NOT condescending, and most people just don't like it. If you're not willing to be more respectful of other posters and engage in conversation, not just trading sarcastic barbs, taunts, or plainly making up stuff to put people on edge, then MFT is probably better off without you -- regardless of your 15 tanks or not.

Obviously, we'd prefer you to stick around and be a part of the community. But not without a little attitude adjustment (and from a couple recent posts I saw, it looks like you may be coming around a bit). Like Orion said, it's all about presentation -- and it's really hard to tell when someone is kidding around from text on a message board.

ya marvin it seems like you have a great deal of knowledge and i am really into cichlids and to have 15 cichlid tanks, to me, is amazing. I mean i would really love to learn from you and here some of your experiences!
