Since I have started posting again you have been in my opinion pretty civil with me, maybe your the same and I have changed?
I'm not talking about "ranting" so be it we all need to blow off steam from time to time.

We have had our beefs in the past, but like you said when in certain postitions it's fight or flight, guess what Brother I have two bad legs and no wings!
This type of "communicating" aint for me!

I could never hold a candle to your sucess and I could never keep the numbers you do (how do you find the time?)!
For this and your sucess with breeding Monitors my hat has always been off to you!
I totatlly understand you have no need to change a thing, your husbandry is tried and true!

Another poster said it perfectly as do you, this is supposed to be fun!
Some folks find FUN in building and creating "naturalistic" setups, even if it means 0 to minimal sucsess.
When I had my Flavirufus in standard trough setups with the basics, I had no FUN, Fake Sun, fake rock shelfs.
I need more fake to have FUN!
I am no longer under these pressures I used to feel, losing lots of eggs, I could care a less how many hatchlings I can produce.

You do your fair share of attacking as well.
Then there is this fence thing, it sucks for a guy like me!
I don't want to get caught up in the fence.

I actually started the mixing of species post elsewhere just to see where it would go. The discusion that followed was full of personal experiences, opinions and facts...It was great!!

I would love to see great discusions like that here, with you!
They always seem to start and end bad here.

Wait a minute...DEJA VUE...I said this stuff 12 years ago...or was it 10?

I wrote you an email aplogy to you a few days ago and I meant it! I do not like the feeling I get cross forum posting.
If the subject can't be discussed civily here, I go there and versa veesa? LOL
So from now on I'm not going to be on any fence I actually never was, I'll just keep being me! Thanks RSG!

I will no longer involve myself in any beefs...not even for the sake of good discusion.

In my perfect world WE would ALL get along Brother!
