Although the information is the same, the message is totally different.

Agreed.

Also I have noticed it is easy to bash someone over the internet because there if no fear that they will retaliate.

I don't believe in DSB but so what, how does that translate into making a personal vendetta against someone? Some very strange personalities are at play there.

It is a shame, RC used to be a good resource two or three years ago, for the past year it is just a disorganized collection of random information.

Thankfully other than a few unmemorable postings, the Canreef forum seems just about the opposite of RC. Lots of information and opinions, supportive and friendly people on this board. Even if you post a pic of an empty tank full of barren rocks you will get posts complimenting your little masterpiece.
