    Exclamation Notice to all Wild Discus "Experts..."

    Dear Wild Discus Aficionados,

    I feel the need to remind everyone here that there is way to behave and treat your fellow Discus Hobbyists here on SimplyDiscus.com and a way not to. This forum asks that everyone be treated in a civil fashion....and that everyone treat others here with a respectful tone regardless of whether they personally like or dislike that individual or their position on an issue.

    I have addressed this before on the forum ... seems I need to do so again in this section of the forum.

    Hi all,
    Its been a long time since I have had to post a thread like this but unfortunately I think Its time I revisit this topic.

    First let me say that this post does not apply to 99.9% of the forum's membership that come here day in and day out treating each other with respect and in a civil fashion even when they disagree. Thats the way this community functions best as a whole and to all of you that post like this....Thanks, I and Ryan and all the Mods appreciate the respect that shows to this forum and its community . Its the reason this site is the excellent community and resource it is.

    For those that fall in the .1% and think that they need not deal with other members of the forum with respect because they are somehow above it all....This forum is not for you then regardless of what experience you bring to the table. We welcome all hobbyists here , of all experience levels and can learn from each other...but only when we discuss things in a civil fashion and respect one another's diverse experiences and backgrounds. If you don't know who you are, you will if the posts continue to be an issue...If you do know, then I am asking you all one last time to stop with the attitude. Its not necessary to behave in this fashion and it takes away from everyone else's experience here.

    Lastly, With all the members we have here, theres always going to be some that will not get along...no problem there... disagree publically but in civil and respectful fashion...if you want to have a go at it on a personal level... take it off the boards....use PMs, emails, telephone, whatever... It won't be tolerated on this forum publically. Period.

    Sorry to have to make a post addressing this everyone....but lately we are seeing more and more of these kinds of problems and I have been getting a lot of complaints about this..

    Thank you,
    Al Sabetta

    I realize that we have several very passionate and educated wild Discus "experts" on the forum and I believe there is much to learn from them....and possibly much they can learn from each other. We encourage these discussions here on Simplydiscus.com as long as they are civil and do not become personal slanders and attacks... We will not tolerate any forum members attacking other members or carrying on personal grudges and vendettas on this forum.

    I have instructed all Moderators to watch this section and take what ever actions are necessary to keep the discussions civil and respectful.

    Sincerely,
    Al Sabetta
