i'd rather actually help someone than prove a petty point about how a forum should be run.
rocker, this was a great opportunity for you to contribute and to help play the role of the expert. you could have even just said "i think XXX is supposed to be a good parasite treatment; google "XXX and puffer" to see if you can find information about how much to dose." or you could have just sent the frickin' pm that babybell requested. you know 100% that private messages aren't read by the mods around here.
what did you do instead? effectively held a sick pet hostage. i think that is despicable.
i don't ever want to see you complain about someone keeping a puffer in a slightly small tank because you would let one die of internal parasites just to fuel your complaint about the "no links" rule.
and while we're playing this game, i wouldn't had to have (possibly) infringed on anyone's copyrights if you had just said "try looking up levimsole." or whatever drug you're thinking of. you're the one around here who would know best--which makes your silence even worse.
