"This is not a matter of being social or not"

To FR this is. His entire argument is that "acedemics" are wrong by not labeling monitors as social when he has seen what he has determined to be social behavior within his cages.



"all animals have a sociability in accordance to there rank within the food chain,"

I agree with you, but this isn't what his arguement is about (and the people he has argued with will confirm this). Again, he is trying to prove by posting all these pictures and making all these posts that monitors fit the defeinition of social when they do not.



"Monitors are a contributing specie! "

No one said they weren't, and I don't know why you felt the need to say that.



"I am not social my neighbours will tell you, but I am forced to raise my kids in accordance to social stigmas, little room for individualism. "

Okay?



"I keep lizards that express interesting behaviours, there actions are never random but well structured, why we need to categorise them is beyond my comprehension."

I don't remember anyone saying lizards were basically big bags of random ... and because you said categorizing animals is beyond your comprehension I won't bother with that.
