Don't talk bad about any stores. There are legal reasons as have been mentioned already. This is site policy!

Why argue?...Just don't talk bad about certain stores It's not that hard

I sined one of those online petitions about how W______ has crappy fish with ich. i siad trash about them and i didnt get sued yet.

Well, I don't think master adam will be arrested in the middle of the night because he set up a website. It's not like the sole purpose of the site is to bash Petco or Petsmart.

People have sued - did the Petswarehouse lawsuit not get as much attention here as it did on the APD? A grand number of people were sued because of people on that list reporting to each other their bad experiences with the company. A number of people were forced to settle, and the whole thing was just a scary mess. Here's the thing: a corporation can afford to sue almost anyone, because individuals rarely have the funds to fight. People usually settle, and it works out to the (short-term, anyway) benefit of the corp. I know my parents were still paying off bills 20 years after the fact of a suit they won - imagine if they'd lost! It's a real issue, and not one to get on Adam's or anyone's case about.

This topic is going to get shut down.

I bet petco/petsmart/walmart or any big giant company like that is not going to bother suing a small website. It just wouldn't make sense.

Apparently, there are no free speech rights on fp because it is a family oriented site.

It's so FP doesn't get sued by some disgruntled company or other. If you're saying "Petco is wonderful!" great, but if you're saying "I've never been in a -------- that I liked," blur the name.

why? we have freedom of speech we can say what we want. they have no right to sue

I would still go with the wrestling half beaks, and some small gobies. The clown goby is not an ocean fish, like many gobys it is so harty it can go fresh, brackish, or marine, also lets hope we are talking about the same goby. There are over 3000 and many have very similar names. ask your LFS to help you find brackish clown gobies, they only grow to 1.5", or so they are white, with a black strtipe on face and black tips on fins, (at least as juvis) just ask to see a list of gobies, write down the names you are interested in and ask jeves, or do a search that is what I do. Brackish fish are awesome!!!
