Impaction

[LeClownBlanc]

Now, I am not trying to convince you to go dirt, because I really don't give a flying one. But flooding the forums with threads when you get advice from other threads is just basically, putting one member against another. Not your intention, I am sure, but it is the reality of the situation. I myself, will have no more of it. As far as advice, I am done with you. But I at least wanted to validate WHY I have dirt as a suggestion. Good luck with your tank and your frogs.

I mainly lurk on here to see advice from other people, and I've read through this entire thread. This thread seems to be more about substrate and if it will cause impaction rather than trying to make members oppose each other. Remember, differing opinions do not mean one is trying to pin people against each other.

I do not believe there is any problem with getting multiple opinions on a topic...isn't that what forums are for? As a moderator, one would figure that a mod would be more patient and understanding rather than being short with someone who is new and trying to figure things out.

I fear for rude replies, one of the reasons why I lurk as opposed to posting often.

"Flooding" the forums seems to be an overstatement, if anything this site should be grateful that Elliot is posing legitimate questions and bringing traffic and activity to the forums. I've gotten a lot of useful advice from his posted threads, and have not felt any sort of nuisance.

As a moderator myself on other sites, I am conscientious of other's feelings and possible reactions that may happen on the other side of the screen. Bad feelings should not result from a forum that is about amphibian care and advice. I was not aware that there is a limit to how much advice one can be given before the other person is "done".

And back on topic, this thread seemed useful for me as I am trying to figure out substrate options for myself. I am thankful for users that are helpful and kind.
