Aquarium Advice FINatic
Some of you will understand this others won't. I'm a newbie at Fish and Aquarium keeping, less than 1 year from the day I started this hobby. I will say it's much different than I expected but none the less my daughter and I enjoy it. I came to AA to get help, advice, opinions, suggestions and to learn and learn more.
So why this thread? Well a while back I asked what you all thought of newbies adding their opinion or advice to threads. The outcome as I understood was YES add, also advise that you don't know factual but what your experience was in the situation.
With this said, there seems to be some issues with the experienced members and those of us still learning. I'd like to comment on this, although your experienced/ professional whatever it may be I think it is safe to say you did Not start with the 20, 30, 40 + years experience ya all speak of. I'm in the last age range so impossible for me to have that much experience. I do have 20+ years of working with people of many diversities, riches to homeless. That does not qualify me as knowing all about people.
Some of you know what I'm referring to, as I have gotten a couple msgs asking that I stay at AA and it's newbies who WANT TO LEARN make it worth those more experienced to want to stay and help us. So I ask, why do you belittle us? Or remind us regularly how experienced you are, if you have helped me I remember those of you who know what your talking about. To down us for just starting out I'd say - remember where you started, maybe a site like this would have helped you. Also I don't know enough about any fish to advise, I do know my experiences and feel it's okay to share that as long as the OP knows it was my case 1 time deal.
For those who have msg me and said it's members like me that make the site worth while, I only wish the "seasoned" members felt the same. I have counted on you folks many times, but am seriously considering moving on, and hoping for the best. I've learned so much from some of you. To share a bit about me, I've been told how dumb I am enough by my ex to last a life time, I don't need or want it from people who are here and claim to want to help. Either help or don't.
If you feel I posted a comment you feel is out of line msg me, don't retaliate by bashing me here. My intention is to hurt no one! I know you've seen me say that too.
I thank and applaud the few who took the time to msg me last night. It means a lot to me, knowing those with experience feel I too have valid points.
I would like to stay and continue with AA much will depend on the levels of response that comes from this thread if any or if it's even allowed to stay up I'm not sure.
