BB ya need to add more than one tag to a post. No one would have found this with the tag "alien". Not only does it help others not to dupe and subsequently get downvoted but it also helps people find your story in the future.

I added some to give you an idea of how easy it is to find loads of tags to use especially in a story like this.

Interesting choice of image. :)

I would have never thought of shipping cargo vessels contributing to ecological issues through ballast water. Good catch by somebody. :)

I know where you're coming from. I do get lazy with tags. I think the tags you added were a little overkill(no offence). You almost told the story with tags. ; )

The more tags the better when it comes to searching for posts. I hear ya though about overkill but I was just trying to illustrate how many tags ya could choose from.

If I said "f**k You" would you downvote me?
Edit: Just trying to set a standard here.

I don't understand this dude. Are you been light-hearted, is this a joke or are you being an arsehole?

If you responded to my comment with a "f**k you" yes I'd downvote you. Even if you are joking other people who are new to the site or don't know you're joking are gonna look at that and it think that you're a d**k.

I don't really give a f**k what they think. Let them get on the boat and figure out the different personalities that exist here. I've gotten many emails wondering after all this time why people don't get me. I live for today. on the edge of the envelope. I really don't care what the people that don't get me think. I'm trying not to use the word children. I have kids older than most members.
f**k you is like saying "you're wrong". Do you get that? I don't take things personal here. f**k is a word I use daily in many different references...Like this "Lets rob the 7/11" My answer would be "f**k you"(that would be a no). Get it. Tie my shoe-f**k you. Wipe my...well, if you don't get it by now it's time to try it on your own. I like you. I find you smart and a pain in the ass...*f**k you* I mean that in the kindest of terms.

I wasn't saying you should give a f**k about what people think but when ya get n00bs on here seeing you respond "f**k you" to someone pointing out a dupe or whatever they are either gonna think "Well he's a high level and he's sayin f**k you to people so it's all good for me to have that attitude too" Get what I mean?

Or they're gonna think that it's a snarky kinda site like fark or other sites like that and it's gonna put them off Plime.

I say f**k and host of other cusses a lot offline and online but when your only response to someone pointing something out or saying something ya don't agree with is "f**k you" then don't ya think that's gonna get taken the wrong way?

Maybe I should have saved on typing and just said f**k you instead. :)

I think this is a great discovery. Too many alien life forms have screwed up the ecosystem. Many of them brought in deliberately, and now, I'm discovering, brought in regularly.
