I guess that I should further clarify my position and offer an apology. First, I would like to apologize for being a joykill. It seems like I am always putting myself in the position of being the only rain cloud on an otherwise beautiful day. Sorry.

No Wit, I wasn't calling you out on that. I was speaking generally. You are the ringleader, but you aren't the only one doing it. This crabs are evil stuff is not just limited to this site or even the internet. People on other sites, even in the LFS are chiming in with CAE. You might have started this, but it has grown beyond you and your known acolytes. Please don't stop your crusade against crabs in reef tanks. I just wanted to share my opinion, not stop the CAE society. The truth be told, I enjoy the banter you have with folks.

Though the namesake of the society suggests that all crabs are evil, it aint the initial intention of Witty... it was all done in good fun...

I realize that this is done mostly in good fun. I have read Wit's manifesto and I pretty much agree with it all. My fears are two fold: 1) Some people don't get it, and do take this seriously. These are the same people who think snakes and other non-cuddlies truly are evil. These people are not just using a figure of speech and scare me. 2) As I alluded to in a previous post, labeling them as evil leads to flaws in the thinking of some people (see fear #1). Flawed thinking leads to all sorts of other dilemas.
I did notice that at least one person has changed to the "Crabs Don't Belong in My Reef Society" that is pretty cool. You made me smile.
Now that I have made two ranting posts to try and clarify my opinion, I will do what I should have done in the first place. I will hold my tongue (or fingers) and refrain from any further comment on this thread.
