Why do the tang Police get so mad?????????

They sure seem to take it personally, don't they? I think it has to do with the fact that people are so afraid to deviate from the narrowly accepted standards of this hobby. You come across as somewhat cavalier in your approach. It may be only your writing style that gives that impression, but once people get a notion....

In that first post about the tang in the 30 gallon it was clear that you realized after only a few posts that it was going to be a very short term thing, but people love to pound a point home. I think that's why this last one got out of hand, it started out well enough.

From a purely psychological point of view, people slam you so they feel like they are "normal" and part of the group. Same reason people gossip about one another.

I say so what. Keep on posting. Write it any way you like. Let those people stroke out over something so simple and then face afternoon traffic on the way home. Clearly you're smoking better sh't than they are

Pmartin, i suggest that you stop making threads of this caliber, you will only lose.

I'm not bashing on you, in fact i am on your side. However, there are many, many people that are on this board basically to make an argument. I wish you luck in your reef journeys, but you aren't going to get much love on this board.
