I think I'm qualified to respond to this. No, most trolls are not smart. Most trolls are people with entirely too little to keep themselves occupied, low self-esteem, and a sick delight in annoying others. Are you a troll? Time will tell.
For what it's worth--you're judging everyone on this forum by the actions of a few. Completely unfair. Do I think that cycling with fish is preferable to fishless? No. Do I understand the frustration of having a tank of water for 2 months? Yes. Cycling with fish can be done with minimal harm to the fish. This means doing frequent water changes, and monitoring the nitrogen in the tank. Simple. Time consuming, but simple.
So now here's another 'dirty' little secret for you--a large number of members are in fact active sportsmen. They have no problem going out and making an ethical kill for food on the table. This is much different than causing disease and sickness in a guppy because of your choices--unless you plan on eating that guppy (not a good idea).
But--this has gone on well too far. The topic is not getting any fresh ideas, and folks are beginning to make personal attacks, which is not acceptable. So I'm locking this. But I'd like everyone who posted here to review what they've said to determine if they tried to diffuse the situation, or added fuel to the fire. If you fall into the latter category--take a deep breath, push the keyoard away, and take some down time. This is a fish board, folks. The problems of the world will not be solved here. Maybe, just maybe, we can solve a few problems in a glass box. And call that good work for a day.
