One just has to remember that when a mod passes something on it could be
seen as inflammatory if the posters involve decide to take offense at
it.
This is true Jan, especially when the someone is directly insulted or put
down for no reason other than someone feels they didn't give a complete
enough reply to suit the insulter. Or the insulter disagrees with the
person they make the remarks to or about. Human nature is human nature.
People get offended. Most people are offended when they have disparaging
remarks directed at them and I'm sure you agree. Maybe we should all stop
and remind ourselves that what works in our pond may not be the best thing
for someone else, instead of insinuating the other person is a fool, an
idiot, a slut and the other things I've seen on this NG in the past 2
years.
Instead of dreading up what has happen in RP over the last 2 years, let's
think forward, shall we? The above won't happen in RPM. There will be
times
though when proven research will trump one's personal experience. Taking
offense and/or feeling put down about that would be "looking for monsters
when there aren't any", imo.
In in mine also! But I respect personal experience as well. The feed is an
example is it not? Your kio thrive on it and I have hundreds of stunted
fish. As for research. Remember Jan, they did research in HRT and it was
supposed to prevent osteoporosis, early aging and heart disease. Then
WHOOPSIE!!!! All these years later they find it not only doesn't prevent
those things - it stimulates breast cancer and kills. Research proved birth
control pills were safe - but OH NO!!!! it killed us women with blood clots.
Research gone bad? Then there was research that showed transfats and how
healthy they were compared to animal fats..... but BY GEORGE!!!!... now we
know transfats are so dangerous NYC banned their use in restaurant
foods....... need I go on? Why should I blindly believe research into
fish foods when the research where humans are concerned is so horrendous, so
poor and ultimately proved so wrong and in some cases so deadly? Sorry Jan,
I have little faith in research and with good reason. I'm sure *this side
of research* would be brought out in any discussion of research - do you
agree?
It's one thing to be insulted when an insult is obvious, it is quite
another when one's information doesn't jive with the norm. That's not to
say you are wrong, just it doesn't jive.
See above. What's norm in your pond may not be the norm in mine and I now
have hundreds of worthless fish to prove it. Where's that researcher now?
Does it jive with the research? I'd like to wring their necks. If
information doesn't jive with your (not you in particular) beliefs then join
in for Pete's sake, nothing wrong with that, but don't try and make the
person look like an idiot because something else worked for them - or what
they say doesn't jive with some research or something read somewhere in some
book or website. :-) I hope you can see my point.
Case in point, we purchased a Prius, I've since seen articles saying the
gas mileage is only ~ 38, and they're not worth the extra money, etc.
These
articles were in the newspaper written by those who get paid to express
their opinion weekly. They neither owed a Priss nor were car experts.
Then their opinion should be taken with a grain of salt........
Yet
other than being peeved for 5 seconds, it sure wasn't worth my time to
counter their point. Btw, owning one for a year I've averaged 45 mpg. If
son is over there for oil, as some claim, I'm doing my part to lessen our
need to be there. ~ jan ;-)
