Hi Jorge,
This is a funny place, people come and want others to be their friends, yet, they do not treat them like their friends.
Most friends, push each individuals limits, calling names is part of that. Like, if you were my friend, I would call you a bonehead, not in a bad way, or you would not be my friend, but a bonehead because your so set in your ways. This is this, that is that, Yet, your new and really do not know what this and that is.
See, I just called you a bonehead in a nice way, just like if you were my close friend.
While this is a forum about kingsnakes, its really about people, as the snakes do not post!
So what we get is what people always do, they poke, prod, fool with, make fun of, test, etc etc eachother. No different then high school, the boy scouts, any sports team, etc, its what people do.
For instance, if I put a treefrog in your back pocket, and you sat down, and well squished the poor frog. Some would laught their bums off, some would say, poor frog, others would ask, where the frog come from, and one may eat the frog(theres always one of those)
Which means, no matter what is said, its taken in a thousand different ways. The posts are person to person. That is, I am talking to Jorge, but others will reply like I was talking to them.
So what happens is, many people get their undies in a wad. Its going to happen, and its going to happen in the church choir as well. Its what people do.
All in all, context is the most important aspect of forums, make sure what your reading is for you, or about you, or even to you. Before your undies get all knotted up.
Personally, there is no reality to forums, its words on a screen. Fake names, etc etc etc. What do you expect from a place with fake names, and no real person behind them.
So make it fun, don't take it personal, and hopefully pick out some information you enjoy. I like pictures. Lots of pictures
Everything else is words by people I do not know. I do not care about art pictures, I love pictures that capture the snake. After all, its the snakes I love. Cheers
