This is one of the silliest threads ever.

After all, most users here (Elana included) keep single pairs of certain species, because they only had the budget or space for one, or they simply couldn't even find more - and I doubt all those single pairs selected each other.

So please save the breeders from the high morale talk.

And then this childish topic was actually started by someone from a country where arranged marriages, with partners selected based on caste and social standing, are commonplace even among humans. :-)

Folks, please keep it civil. Naji started the thread to ask for opinions and start a discussion, so please respect those whose opinions may be different than your own.

Hillary,
With respect, snide remarks is not a way to have a discussion.
More like someone trying bait us to stir up trouble.
IOW a TROLL.

If he is NOT a TROLL, it is now up to him to prove it.

Hilary has said it all. The rules of this forum are that posts must be respectful and family friendly. Debate is welcome, but if you can't be civil, please don't post at all.

If only this was a discussion.

But all I can see is the person opening the topic making snug comments of 1-2 lines to lengthy posts of reason made by the other members.
That really indicates trolling, not a discussion.
It is an important difference.
