Hi Ryan,
Welcome to forum. Take it from someone close to it.Don't worry about name, some people just way too sensitive and overreactive. I should know, I have a 32 year old daughter who has cerebral palsy and is mentally retarded. I get cr#p all the time about that when I say it that way. 'They' prefer I say 'mentally challenged'. As long as it's not said in a cruel or mocking manner it's fine. Obviously you meant to infer that you where less expierenced and have a lot to learn about fish. Some people have way to much time on their hands and are too concerned with other peoples bussiness.
