I just discovered this group on FB the other day that has some helpful files. However, I was banned because I disagreed with a moderator --- I offered to a newbie, as a rule of thumb, to just avoid lettuce and spinach. There are so many OTHER types of veggies that are great for your beardie that you can hold lettuce and spinach completely off your menu and still feed a very well-balanced diet.
After saying that, the moderator chimed in that lettuce (even, specifically, iceberg lettuce) is very nutritious for your beardie and that I was just plain wrong. I was then told to stop spreading incorrect information and banned from the group. As a high school teacher, dealing with people in that manner is infuriating - they are treating me like a first-grader.
Hahaha, we can be monsters when given a little power. I wouldn’t think of it as being treated like a child though. It’s just very hard for some people to accept that they’ve been wrong about something—especially when called out in a public forum. Banning the individual/information is an easy-to-do emotional response. Too bad for the lizards stuck with the close minded. Hopefully, your interaction will lead someone to a simple google search and maybe some good will come out of it all.
> because they are too invasive
> they don't moderate their site properly
> too many trolls inhabit the FB universe
> and I don't like my information being used without my permission
> I don't like being bombarded with requests to be friended by total strangers , and don't much care for like counts..
So on that basis , I'll stick with message boards like this one.

They claim that everything they do and say is based on science... but cannot show me or explain to me what that science is. I can't go back to the page anyway though, since I was entirely banned from even seeing it.
They did have interesting info about thermostats and setting up your viv, though. I really wanted to follow through with all of that, but I guess my beardie will suffer because of their egos.
