Patience
If a grown person chooses to make a simple statement into a political statement thats in them. We talk about Church, regularly Pray for each other, talk about God and Jesus constantly. Do we ever stop to consider if EVERYONE has the same beliefs? No. Why? Because unless we're being rude, someone takes offense to it, we're just expressing our thoughts. There wasn't a single thing political about a global warming joke. Ill back @CoralB 100% on this and the chips can fall where they may? I mean are we really going to report that to Rev and have it removed? That's the part that ruffled my feathers.

I am REPORTING YOU TO A HIGHER AUTHORITY (memes)

John, I don't know what's wrong with you today or if I've done anything to you. These are the rules of Reef2Reef first and foremost, and then Joel's rules, because this is his thread. I'm not going to continue this topic here. Send me a private message if you want to continue the conversation.
 
I didn't just quote that comment, don't get defensive like John. Rules are rules. If anyone want to talk about politics, religion, or any other controversial topic, PM me and we can debate whatever you want, but not here in this thread.
You sound ridiculous. No one's going to pm you to see if we have your approval to post anything. Get real, your overstepping brother.

Nobody is saying I have to give approval for anything; don't put words in my mouth that I didn't say.
 
guys weve gotten along so well for so long. lets just drop it. both sides have a point but thats not the point 😊 . id hate to have hurt feelings and have anyone leave. lets move on.....please?

I do not want to. I have nothing to hide. There's nothing wrong with me. You cant pick or choose a topic that you dont like and call it offensive. Grown people are going to push back on that.

It's more of an analysis of your actions.

Im cool with that, but my name was referenced twice specifically since I've been on this evening, and im not just going to let that fly. Ridiculous, honestly

I am speechless . Not sure how I could have kept someone else from putting in there political jab . John thanks for this comment , but anything could have gotten a response from someone with a political agenda .

It's never led to that because everyone knows the rules. The person who posted the reply probably doesn't know them, and that's why I responded. I don't think I was disrespecting anyone, nor do I want to be anyone's parent here, but rules are rules and they must be followed. Look what I've gotten myself into just for clarifying something before it escalates into politics

Do you think I like that?

Of course not, but I've been here long enough to see Rev come in and clean up this thread because of things that happened.

Question for everyone. What tank brands do y'all recommend that are big enough for smaller tangs. Like is Water box or Innovative Marine the way to go. Curious what brands everyone recommends. Would I really regret not getting a sump tank if I went with an 80 gallon AIO. I was thinking of ordering a tank that is in that larger range and then just waiting on getting other equipment or lights while it cycles for a bit. I know the tanks usually take a long while to arrive as well. I have a Skimmer that's rated for 120 as well already. I prefer tanks that are wider then deep. Curious if anyone has tried JBJ, FIJICube, Water Box, IM, or any other brands. I know people say to avoid red sea.
