I understand that this thread is going on forever and you're probably tired of it, but at least read what I write before going ballistic on me.



I did not accuse you in any way of having an agenda, other than the one I think you just clearly stated of helping to protect our right to own herps.



What I was saying was that what you seem to be trying to prove does not accomplish that goal but plays right into the hands of the people who want bans... I did not mean to imply that that was your intention, just the likely result.



For purposes of this argument at least, it doesn't really matter whether I believe the everglades is full of burms or not, everyone who counts (which does not include me) does. So unless you can prove otherwise, which of course is impossible, short of burning the everglades to the ground and sifting the ashes, you will just look paranoid (no matter how right you may be). I'm not saying I think you're paranoid, just that other people will.



If I took your comments out of context, it was only to show you how those comments will be used against us by the people you think you're refuting. If I've done otherwise, it was not intentional.



If what happens here in Florida means nothing to you (your exact words, I don't think I'm taking them out of context), at least have the courtesy of not doing any damage before you go. Again, sisnce I seem to need to be very specific, I am not saying you are trying to do damage, just that that is the only end result I can see from the point you're trying to prove.



I know it's hard to tell in type sometimes, but you seem to be reading a whole lot of malice into my words that is not intended. Maybe I'm not using enough smileys...
