I don't think you should appologise Fossa dude, it's totally reasonable to ask questions like that given the broad knowledge and experience of people on this site and the known limitations of the zoo listings websites.
I disagree, and I think it was Ok that he apologised. For one thing, the search function of this site exists (also) for such random questions. To encourage people to ignore this useful aid isn't very helpful, is it? Fossa Dude could have answered several of his previous requests by himself, if he just had "deigned" to use the search function...
Additionally: when did I bring up ISIS here? Zootierliste is pretty accurate, also in regard to historical husbandries. And if you think that the site is "limited", then why not help improve it, @Shirokuma, by adding some of your "broad knowledge and experience" to it?
I didn't claim to have any knowledge or experience, broad or otherwise. I'll make no further comment as I have more important things to bother with in life than getting into arguments with you.
Ok, I didn't mean to start an argument even though it happened. First off, I would like to start with me asking the question. I like any replay and feed back but I was asking Chlidonians not you. Second - If you hate to answer questions so much ( since you usually are picking fights and making sarcastic remarks when you answer or if even answer a question) Just don't bother to answer them. And Lastly You don't need to tell me if it was ok to apologize to you. Your defiantly not my Mother or Father and you defiantly shouldn't tell me what I should or shouldn't do. Your sarcastic remarks on some one that is having a good time and wondering if someone could help them, is just childish. I know you know a lot about our natural world but if only you would share that instead of making it a hard time. I'm not holding a grudge but when I asked about the tyras habits to Malayan Tapir at the Berlin Zoo you gave me the worst crap that they sleep,eat,poop,mate, play........ This serve absolutely no purpose in the zoological field and is worthless to put on ZooChat ( a website about, well to me, Learning ) and what you said had nothing to do with learning.
Second - If you hate to answer questions so much ( since you usually are picking fights and making sarcastic remarks when you answer or if even answer a question) Just don't bother to answer them.
Interesting interpretation. Ever thought that it is your infantile and naive questions you could easily answer by yourself that trigger my reply? As for the "don't bother"-why shouldn't I?
And Lastly You don't need to tell me if it was ok to apologize to you. Your defiantly not my Mother or Father and you defiantly shouldn't tell me what I should or shouldn't do.
As for the father-who knows? So I shouldn't tell you what you should or shouldn't do, but you can tell me what I should and shouldn't do? Interesting conclusion. So maybe you are my father or my mother, then? Anyway, thanks for apologising in the first place.
As for "childish": ever gave the idea a thought that your questions are way too often childish and naive? And that they serve absolutely no purpose in the zoological field [whatever that is in this regard], are worthless to put on ZooChat and have absolutely nothing to do with learning?
I'm getting the impression that you're posting such questions just for the sake of posting them (because you want to desperately join the conversation, or to increase your post count, or whatever...), and that you are too lazy and unwilling to think and research on your own to answer your oh so deep and thoughtful questions. If there's something I "hate" (to use that word you brought up), then that is lazy people - and stupid questions. And what I've learned is that the best way to change that attitude and the quality of questions, or to at least make aware of them, is to employ humor.
So if you want me to stop giving silly answers, then stop posting silly and unnecessary questions-and just do some thinking and research on your own before posting any questions. You will gain more out of, and so will the quality of the forum, too.
@Sun Wukong - This is starting to get old. At first I ask the question in general to anyone. Then after Chlidonians answered the first question. I ask another question that you answered. So yes I just ended a sentence but it was still @chlidonians.
2) No.
3) Already have a great father don't need another one.
4) I can tell you to not tell me and vic versa.
5) Everyone learns in different ways.
6) this is getting old. I'm done. I don't wish to fight. That's not what God has placed me on this earth for.
Fossa Dude and Shirokuma, do not argue with Sun Wukong. He is only happy when he is antagonising other ZooChatters. I have placed him on my ignore list. You may consider doing the same. It will spoil his fun.
Good point bongorob. And I agree with stubeanz, it's fascinating to see things like this. There is a reference to it in a book I recently read again called 'Animal Gardens' by Emily Hahn.
