Today I Got A Visit From Animal Control about my Tegu !!!!!!!!!!

[laurarfl]

The "thug" talk gets a little old to me, too. And it keeps people from posting for fear of feeling attacked. There is no problem with suggestions, criticism, or disagreements. The bluntness with which some opinions are worded lately is bringing a feeling of harshness to the forum. I don't post here as much as I used to. And I've noticed some of our previously regular members have left.

As for posting in proper English, I know we all come from various backgrounds. The real difficulty comes in when our international members try to run the text speak and modifications through a translator. They just can't understand the messages.

 

[TeguBlake]

Does anybody else see the problem with this situation??

Yeah james we all see what koulda happened (sarcastic tone)... Damn Brah, dude shares a kool story up here and here you go again "pops". I think you just "that dude" that finds the negative or the "problem" as you put it, in everything. Yeah I see you a real helpful dude and all, and appear to have tegu knowledge and sh!t but k'mon Brah, you aint gotta be everybodys' konscience ALL THE TIME. Real talk.

Amen.

 

[KABIKANO]

Oh, I'm sorry, what exactly is "thug" talk you stereo typers? I guess we should all be a specific economic status too huh? How about we kick out all the get "butt hurt" people, hmm? How bout that? Maybe you "proper english speakers" should start a "my sh!t dont stink" forum? I'm out (G-Style, a dirivitive of thug style).

^^It means you apparently don't use question marks when asking questions. I agree, it's really annoying that adults are starting to speak like 12 year old wanna be ghetto kids. I "kan't" deal with it. The thug talk also really gets to me. And no, we shouldn't all be a certain economic class but we should all speak English. With a free public education system you would think most people would learn how to. I guess not. Anyways, I'm out(GC(Grammatically correct) style).

 

[BatGirl1]

I thought "thug talk " reference was towards people bullying others instead of being generally helpful...as for the grammar issue, although I personally try to write and speak appropriately, I do not feel it is my job to correct others on a tegu forum i am often on my phone when posting and frequently rush through in textlike manner...so often I skip over capitalization and correct punctuation.I apologize for my share of 'typos ' too...and am certainly grateful for others kindness in not 'calling me out ' on such things... ( just trying to lighten things up here guys...) ;p let's try to get along and be helpful to one another. We all love our animals whether beginner or expert...and have a lot to offer each other in terms of support... :heart:

1st of all, no one was speaking to you. Are you a wanna be ghetto kid? How do you know a "wanna be ghetto kid" speaks that way? In reference to me using the letter "k" instead of "c", there is no letter "c" in the Tagalog alphabet and since this is "just a forum", I choose to write like that. No one is asking you to deal with it so don't. If it get's to you, so what? And who's not speaking english??? Seems like we kan all understand and read what is being written here. TegusRawesome... With a name like that, are you part of the 12 year olds you are speaking of? Don't mock me again.

I don't mind when people talk differently on forums, it's what makes people different. If everyone was exactly the same it would get kind of dull if you get what I mean. I like using grammar and spelling things right but I don't correct others or force it on them. Some people just type differently or talk differently. Sometimes it gives off a bad first impression but I've come to realize that first impressions are hardly ever true. I was not sure Kabikano who you were or how you acted just by the way you typed, but when I saw a couple of your youtube videos I realized you were a upstanding kind of guy and were cool. Some people on this forum take first impressions too far in my opinion.

 

[Grendel]

Let me clue in those of you who obviously don't understand this about life yet.
1. How you write and talk matters.
2. All your life you WILL be judged, no matter how many times you will say: " don't judge me, you don't know me".
3. Not everyone is "super-awesome", "special" and can achieve "anything".

 

[KABIKANO]

Wow, looks like someone has figured out "life." Hahaha!

Thanks Diablo!

By the way Grendel, we are ALL super-awesome! Yes, even u...

Yeah I'm "that dude" that wants people to think about what could have happened in situations like this. Do you understand the laws that have been passed stopping you from being able to do certain things with reptiles? Do you understand there are more laws attempting to be passed preventing you from doing even more?

Funny how you don't want people to judge you, but your entire post was about judging me?

Are we supposed to "coat" our comments in sugar and cream?

If you look back, "they" (or maybe you include me so) "we" didn't come out until after your post. Maybe you should apologize for your post.

 

[KABIKANO]

[TeguBuzz]

This thread has gone way off topic now. Personally, I think James is a pretty cool and knowledgeable guy, and so is TegusRawesome (don't knoe your name). Ive been around here for about a year now as a member and even longer as just someone who read others' posts. Lately, people have been acting like little kids and it gets to me, cause all you (referring to many, not singling out) is bash on members that Ive seen around here much longer than you. Some of us choose to give our words of wisdom or advice in a tone that isnt all happy go lucky, but more flat out. When we see something wrong, we point it out and BAM - all of a sudden we're hating. Tired of all this crap and im tired of seeing members who have been around here for a long time go or stop posting.

And having to do with all this thug talk etc., I find it rather dull that the way you type on here is somewhat hard for me and probably other members who arent American to understand. I'm Greek, english is my second language, and I try my damn best to get words spelled correctly on here so that people from all over would be able to comprehend what it is im saying.

That being said, I wont post anything else in this thread.

 

[tegus4life]

I agree. I can get over people using bad grammar unless it's to the point of my not being able to understand what the author/poster is trying to say. It's frustrating when people don't speak comprehensibly. But when someone gives someone else advice, it should be taken as just that- advice. This forum is about people sharing their love for their animals and giving advice and constructive criticism when asked for or needed. There are so many posts in response to someone else's post being "too mean" but people need to understand that almost everyone who posts and comments on posts is trying to help the tegu owner provide the best husbandry for their animals as they can; not to always be looking out for other peoples' feelings. I don't think it's necessary to be mean when giving feedback, but on occasion I do think it may be warranted.
