**Glen, you need to pick up a dictionary and learn how to use the english language properly. Just like you misused the words smear campaign, venom, malignment and denial are words that haven't come into play. You are prone to exaggeration and I don't play that game.**



You've been playing the game for a while now it seems. You can deflect the issue all you want. If you want to turn this into an English discussion then we can go that way. Perhaps you should look inward. You are the one who should look up the word misuse. None of the words you've mentioned that I've used have been misused - perhaps they are not the words another would have chosen, but if it is how I feel you have acted about a situation and the word describes that, it is not a misuse. Do you know what misuse means? Also, you are seeing red so much that you cannot even follow the discussion. You seem to have taken personally the implication that you are on a smear campaign against Dan. I was not the first one who introduced that term into the thread, I was simply repeating it. But, in your disdain for me, you assumed it was all me. Unfortunate. Also unfortunate that you feel you are above this discussion.



**If you can't understand the difference between denial and surprise, malignment and humor and venom and opinion, and you cannot understand that your reputation WAS trashed over the Study Butte affair where the inference in some of the posts was that you obtained the alterna illegally from the park - there is no more engagement. I don't know you. I don't know if any of that stuff written about you is true **



Exactly. I couldn't have said it better myself. You don't know. Nobody knows. Implications, conjecture, speculation (maybe you can look these up when you're looking up misuse). What is the origin of implying that I got one illegally? What is that based upon? It is totally ridiculous. Nobody knows. I've not been proven a liar and I haven't screwed anyone. How can I be trashed effectively through false accusations? I suppose I'm a child molester too, huh? After all, the charge is what causes the damage, not the backing up of the charge. I could imply that you have poached alterna. Congratulations, now the inference can be made by others that you collect snakes illegally. You have a sullied reputation. I don't know if it is true that you have illegally acquired snakes, but it is what I heard. I heard that you might have collected an alterna in Guadalupe NP. After all, where there is smoke there's fire, right? Seems to cast doubt on your entire collection. I guess you've been trashed too.



Kind of absurd, right?
