| Sponsor  | Craig, I know the new owner of RAG and I was proud to be a sponsor over therea at one time and never had a problem. If Chris had seen it in a timely manner it would have been taken care of sooner. Hope Luis will continue to post as he had in the past.

| Achilles Tang  | Luis- your hard work has resulted in one of the greatest reef tanks out there. It is an inspiration and gives everyone something to aspire to. Don't give in to one jealous individual. Keep posting bud..

| Regular Guy Moderator   | Thanks Baryy it is all good. I know the person was banned and that several attempts were made to temper their vituperativeness. No fault on the part of RAG as they did get it handled. Sometines it takes time to give someone the proper amount of rope tp hang themselves, eh?

| Tuxedo Urchin  | I've read thru all of this here and the RAG thread as well and I think the whole thing stinks. Luis, your tank is stunning. Everyone appreciates the pics you've posted and nobody wants you to leave the internet over a few words from some obviously deranged individual. Why he decided to attack you is something only he knows. You shouldn't care. It's the internet. Nothing is as it seems. So many punks posting behind the big steel wall of anonymity. It's a breeding ground for the lower depths of society. Just look at all the posts here and in the other thread that were made by people who obviously think highly of you and consider you a friend. Look at this site. Everyone is so nice. It's a wonderful community with a large (and growing) group of friends. That kind of behavior wouldn't last long here. Unfortunately Chris didn't get around to banning the clown in time. Hopefully the damage done can be undone. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing updated photos as often as possible, especially a couple more full tank shots.

| Golden Moray  | I suspect that posts were continiuing regarding this issue while the moderators were deciding what to do. This process can take some time. I suspect that they were doing the best that they could do under the circumstances. Let's not veer off the original intent of Vina Del Mar's original post..... Playabrisa, You have a lot of friends who are coming to your defense and they just want to know you that you know that. What say ye?

| Dragon Moderator  | Luis: Please dont let one idiot ruin the net for you. I understand how personal some comments can be online and how easy it would be to just tell them all to go to hell, but you also have a lot of people here who respect and admire all that you have taught us. Your tank is one of the greats and I don't care what anyone else says, they honestly don't know the time love and work that goes into having a great tank.

| Cabbage Leather  | Luis, speaking from the other side of the planet, if you stop posting, god help me I'll have to save up to buy an air ticket and fly over there then knock some sense into you just kidding.Don't stop posting just because some "nimcompoop" is green with envy and can't stand it. Your tank has inspired me in a big way to work on my tank and my family is loving the daily changes they're seeing

| Scopas Tang  | Just saw this and went over to RAG to see what was up. I haven't been to that site since the switch. They seem to have deleted most of the post from the guy and also seems like they banned him too. Something that this world is full of is idiots and poop. Someone say that poop is so abundant that if it glowed in the dark, this planet could be seen with the naked eye from trillions of light years away. You can pretty much substitute idiots for poop in that statement. I am sure Luis is a bit down and upset too. That is fine. Give him time. He'll feel better and will make a sound decision. He is a mature adult and I am sure he can see the right decision. We'll talk then. Now I see why you didn't reply to my PM or even called.
