so only my really close friends know that I have gotten gliders this week.. I just put my first ever pic of the girls on Facebook, of them eating dinner, and this stupid a:/$&@! who is friends with my boyfriend comments and asks me if he can buy them off me. Are you fcking serious? This kid is a loser who didn't go to college and mooches off his parents, living in his daddy's basement, selling drugs to pay for his things. He basically just asked me if he could buy my newborn babies.

What a jerk. I feel bad for his 2 obese cats and neglected bunny already, I pray he does not get a sugar glider so he can kill it with marijuana smoke, after it's been neglected and improperly fed.

You should be honest with him and tell him what you just said. You might get lucky and he'll never talk to u again

All I said was "hmm?" hoping there was a miscommunication but I doubt it with this jerk. No reply since. We shall see tomorrow.

Just tell him how hard they are to take care of, how expensive a cage, food & vet care is and look up a good picture on the internet of those massive inscisors they have and let him know they bite like crazy!!!!

That may turn him off.

Be human and say "no thanks" instead of complaining about nothing. Unfortunately now that you have shared the existence of your exotic animals with your community, your house is now higher on the list to be robbed, perhaps even by your good friend the druggie.

I think what disturbs me most about this, is that you date someone who associates with someone like that.

Just my opinion.

You all seem so nice.. It's like high school all over again.

The type of people your spouse, bf, friends choose to have in their lives says a great deal about them as a person. I have left many friends behind because they just didn't understand that. I left that scene behind many years ago, and I had to leave friends behind too. There comes a point in a person's life when we stop pretending to be nice just to get along with someone, and start putting it out there in the hopes that everyone has grown up enough to not take things so personally. I think I would just tell him what's on your mind, and if he doesn't like it, that's his problem.

I was thinking the same things but also that what we say about others, and how we say it reflects a great deal on us and maybe less on those we are talking badly about. I am critical, clearly. I am picky about whom I let in my life, around my children, and while I try and be kind to others, I am also honest and sometimes honestly there is little kind to say.

Update? Did you talk to him? Do you feel any better about the situation? I hope you do.

He just asked a question, and you've lost it. Don't mix up your problems with this person with your sugar glider issues. If you use facebook to tell the world about your life, you can expect this kind of thing to happen - it's all part of the idiocy of facebook and the people who use it.

I'm pretty sure you just called about 90% of the people that are on here "idiots."

They also aready made a dig at someone that gets home-schooled for their bad spelling. I'm thinking lately our new slogan should be: Welcome to sugarglider.com....we're here so you can find fault, condescend and judge. Enjoy!

If you're not happy with the responses you are getting from the glider community maybe you just don't fit in. I agree with everyone ^^^

This is like watching a sitcom : ) just saying

I use Facebook and am not an idiot. I don't think.

Also if you want to get technical GliderGossip is almost exactly like Facebook except the point here is to talk about gliders but everything else is the same.

Well to the person who posted this, I am sorry you are upset. I wish you luck with your gliders and hope this site gives you the information you need to take great care of them. As for commenting on this I think you should let it go, I understand your anger I would be upset myself because I am an emotional person and make something out of nothing sometimes as well. But, however, some of the people on this site are not like that, they do not understand as well as you would like them to, ( I am in no way criticizing them, it is just their characteristics its what makes them them and not saying this in a bad way) Just tell the person no and discourage him from gliders as much as possible. And as for all the people on this post replying, I wish we could all find a happy medium, we are not on here to criticize, make ANYONE feel unwelcome, we are on this site to share our love of gliders and try to HELP one another, we all have our faults and we are all human and make mistakes and have their quirks some of us get our feelings hurt easier than others and some people care more about some things than others do. I feel that we need to keep this in mind when making posts on this site. We should strive to be courteous to others and consider the other persons feelings and point of view. As most of our moms used to say " If you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all!" I would hate to think that their are people out there who needed to get correct information on gliders but have been denied that because they were shown crude rudness by people on this site. It is not right and I hate to see groups of people clash and argue about differences when i know they have so much in common! Just keep this in mind please! Thanks!

Tell him gliders like the taste of lazy druggies...then laugh your fool head off. It's the kind of thing I would say :D

Why would you be intentionally rude to someone for asking a simple question just because you don't approve of some of their habits?

I don't get all the judgement from some people on this site. Not you specifically but in many, many threads there are people snapping at one another and throwing shame around.
I just don't get it.

Uhhhh guys....this post is from 2011. How do these old things keep getting drug (no pun intended) back into the present? Yeeesh.
