I have been receiving emails from one of the most outspoken posters on the forum stating that I am loosing credibility or taking hits on my credibility. I could copy the emails and post them without the senders name, but I do not want to start a war. You may say sour grapes, but I could say all the other stuff being posted is sour grapes. I have been told a lot of things from other people of past shady dealings by you. But I cannot prove that, and I would not even get on here and start a battle with you. It is all gossip and cannot be proved. I choose not to believe it, because I have no reason to doubt you. I would never post anything that might not be true and possibly try to hurt your credibility. If you want to email me personally I can tell what is being said. But I would not air it out on a public forum.
I saw A post from Steve W. that said he had a pair of snakes from me (it was obvious he meant me)and I do not believe they were even any of the ones that have been in question. He said that maybe he needed to get rid of them. So you cannot tell me this does not effect people in a negative way. His post may have been tongue in cheek, but I cannot tell and people that do not know me would not know for sure. It sounded like he meant it. There are others also.
The posts against Glen Fankhauser and others are way over the top. As well as others. There is a ridge of awesome alterna habitat at the entrance to the park on both sides that is huge. You tell me the snakes cannot travel 1.5 miles or more. The guys making the posts know about this ridge but they would rather not mention it. Anything they can to make the guy look dishonest is apparently more fun to many. I talked to Bob Aseto last night and he said he caught one that looks just like one of the snakes. But know one calls Bob a liar as he is on here all the time. It seems the only people that don't get criticized are the ones doing the posting. No one wants to get in a battle with them. Some of them are relentless. The really nice guys, the Brad Alexanders and others do not seem to be showing up much anymore. In fact the forum seems to be narrowing in the amount of posters.
I am glad you and found out about the 118 crosses, and Hueco animals. But many other snakes could be challenged also. Many from the guys that are screaming foul. All we have to rely on his their word. But until there is a body, or a photo to deny it. People make mistakes but that does not make them dishonest. I would say that people need to tone it down and be diplomatic about it. You say not to get to harsh on the Fish and Game as it hurts the effort. But here on the internet the people do not follow that same philosophy as you are asking. You know that people are keeping away from here. Eventually it could be called "The chosen few" forum. Because people do not want to be torn apart with malicious words from others. This is supposed to be fun. There is very little diplomacy in many cases on here.
Many past posters were banned from posting on kingsnake. Maybe a new forum could be started for the guys with less harsh verbage. I cannot imagine a business that would survive with this kind of thrash be hurled around. If I go out and start trashing my competitors in my construction business I would loose those bids. I hate is when I go and buy something and the guy starts trashing the competition. It makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Just my observations... Sorry Joe. But I can see these things happen. Look down and you will find the Post by Steve and others very similar.
