Report warns against Coral Triangle collapse (CNN)

So how do I distinguish between what is a theory and what is a fact?

Is this what it's like to be in one of your classes?

Guys... Topside, remember, not the SUMP. I know it's bright up here but can't you leave that to down there?

You've gotta admit that the thread didn't start out that way, and it turned pretty quickly because of the post of one topside-only poster's response. The only other difference is that our claws have been well-sharpened down in the Sump.

Many of my thousands of posts were in the sump. It became the same old thing over and over again, it became boring. Too many times it became personal and the thread was locked or people were banned, others even went as far as threatening to sue other posters and mods. That was enough for me. Now I rarely, if ever post below the tank.

Understood, Dan, but it doesn't change what just happened up here. Location doesn't change the dynamic.

Point being RDO is trying to build the topside forums traffic. Threads like this don't help, trust me. This is sort of what drove traffic away last time, thanks for repeating the past :lol:

I think this thread is fine. I don't see why we can't debate this issue respectfully.
