>>I'll be the first person to admit if I'm wrong. I perused a lot of this Ocean Reef cat crap about 2 years ago for a project I was involved in. I'll admit I didn't take the dates published into consideration nor did I take them into consideration in my post. The entire idea was to state that a lot of facts are stated by "scientist" who the general public believe without question. The thing is you knew that several papers, articles, etc varied on the number of cats yet you deliberately tried to make me look like a liar.

Nope. I never accused you of lying. I did prove that you made several claims about those cats that aren't true. There's a difference. I have no doubt that you *believed* the claims you were making -- but they were still wrong.

I'll repeat: if you want people to take you seriously about the python ban, then you need to be very careful to not lose your credibility. And every time you say something that isn't true, your credibility gets chipped away. And THAT is why this whole discussion is important.
