An apology to all.
Sorry guys, I ( the original poster ) was just asking a question.
Really, Activated Charcoal is not all that big a deal to get P.O
about.
Perhaps the one fellow did not know the term "Bacterial Filtration"
and took it literally.
You can filter out bacteria though. And if you filtered it out, it is
filtered in on the other side. You can buy survival type drinking
straws that will filter out bacteria. ( Sorry starting to get
oppositional here, but see how I bring myself under control!)
However, BF is a common term to aquarium users.
Is this really worth getting all worked up about?
I think a thesis could be written on how differently people behave on
the net then they do in person. It is like the anononimity gives them
power and removes the rules. Just ask yourself WWJD if he were
posting a message here.( A little too much? you think?) Actually, it
is hard to grasp a persons inflections and body language over then
net, and, something that would be clear in person as a joke or
something unimportant, suddenly becomes a slur or insult when written.
Just my (worthless) opinion. No more or less important or valid then
anyone else's.
Thanks
BM

No one is disrespecting his methods. Many people keep fish very well in
blissful ignorance to the specifics of how their little micro-ecosystem
really functions, and that is fine. It is his attitude that is the
problem.

He asked a question, I answered it, and he responded with ignorant slander.
He may not make a living as a troll, but he has the right attitude to be
one.
