I have been lurking and posting the occasional response (mostly "what a great looking dragon!" ) because the forum has gotten so antagonistic lately. It used to be a fun place to discuss issues (whether we agree or not), get advice (that you are free to take or leave), and share interesting stories about our beardies. But now you get attacked for saying anything. I have enough stress in my job working with at risk teenagers, that in my free time I do not want to be attacked or feel like I have to attack back (something I have resorted to in the past and am ashamed of.)



One of my favorite conversations on this board was with azteclizard and grimdog, where we discussed UVB and vitamin D3 toxicity. We did not completely agree, but I think we all learned something from each other's input and definately went away with food for thought. I never felt attacked or challenged and I have the upmost respect for both of them.



Sorry this is so long, but I really feel like I have lost something lately with the current "vibe" on the forum.

(BTW, this is NOT directed at anyone in particular. Just a general statement about the recent forum style.)
