The following is directed to the staff of this site. It is obvious that this thread has gone very much beyond the intent of this site. Yet this site is to help people. The current aspect of this thread has the potential to help. Many sites would lock this thread but please do not consider doing so. This site is about the care of fish but it is people that care for the fish. How can we care for fish without caring about others that care for fish? I'm not saying that I believe that any staff member would do so but I always believe that it is better to put out a view before action is done than after. Even though dealing with people rather than fish I think that this thread has become VERY important. This is from one that, many years ago, worked as a volunteer at a youth mental health facility.
It's good to have a chance to get to know each other as something beyond fish-keepers. When in doubt, have a look at the forum rules. Basically, as long as things stay civil, relatively non-creepy (a recurring theme on this thread; I appreciate everyone's efforts, and find such efforts highly amusing! 
), it's all great. Just try not to make the mods look bad or create extra work for us.
and all of its wonderous sayings
