The reason why people are reacting negatively to your comment is not because of what you’re saying but how you’re saying it. Has it occurred to you how condescending and arrogant you sound? Instead of getting your point across and successfully managing to win people over to your side, you have instead alienated everyone who is not from your developed, enlightened country.

Does this “magnetic_rose” TROLL not know how to read?

Yes, even we Ph.D.s get annoyed when confronted by ignorance and name-calling, “magnetic_rose” .

YOU really need to brush up on keeping your mis-directed anger under control.

Kindly read the following, “magnetic_rose”, along with DOZENS of other similar evaluations:

“That’s why in many places, like the Solomon Islands, this species is endangered. There are laws limiting the number of egg carrying females and the size at which they can be collected and exported. In fact, human consumption exterminated long ago this giant crab from Borneo, Indonesia or New Guinea.”

has this docchuck never heard of google? practically every site i checked that the search engine coughed up using the keywords “coconut crab + endangered” yielded results that said the crab was neither threatened nor endangered -.-;;

this fella needs to get off his high horse and get some basic facts straight before spouting off nonsense about “developed, enlightened countries”. this post was about food; it did not contain a single insinuation about how civilized people of a certain country are based on what’s on their plate (because if it were than the “almighty” US of A would be the most uncivilized place on earth — they did after all, create MCDONALDS) until he showed up.

unless this troll can back everything up with something more substantial than his personal claims, he should keep baseless, high and mighty comments to himself.
