I agree that public forum differences of opinion should be expressed politely. However it should be pointed out that releasing hybrids into the wild is not ok. You never know what effect they might have on the local snake populations as well as the predator/prey niches they fill.
Really it's bad to release any snake that was born in captivity, or has been in captivity, into the wild. This can expose wild populations to diseases, bacteria and parasites that might not be native to their natural environment. Most states probably have laws against it too.
