Parrot Wank!
Benderelle is lied to by a parrot breeder. This descends into the predictable breeders vs. rescues slugfest.

e11even: "right, but you want to raise it yourself
birds have personalities like their parents"

benderelle: "who fed you this crock?"

e11even: "omg have you not met fucked up birds who get neglected?"

Then it gets fun. We have grammatical hijinks, an olive branch, personal journal trolling and subsequent deletion, and apparently, accusations of crazy-faking.

large_marge is definitely not faking the crazy:

since you're so concerned about being in charge...why don't you clean up the language a bit?

i don't care if i'm not getting the popular vote because what i see here are some of the friendliest bird lovers ever BUT i also see some people who are know it alls and if they don't agree with you they make rude comments and if you didnt work at a bird rescue or if you don't own a bird bigger than a budgie you are not cool

if your attempts to get me banned (for saying something many people were thinking but afraid to say) work you'll still be you and your little group of friends will still be who they are

btw i enjoy reading your posts i'm not saying anything bad about you and your birds or anything

"is it time for a moderator," one4theroad asks.

bloolark: "I'll solicit names of those who want to moderate the community, put up a poll, and let the top three or so moderate and move on."

large_marge: "who made you boss? and IF you're going to be the boss you could at least BE FAIR about it. i was defending myself after i was called SEVERAL names...for what?????? because i did NOT agree with a comment??????? i knew you didn't like me...ha"
