Kevin,

"First off, good use of our energy to fight within our limited numbers." SERIOUSLY?! That's the pot calling the kettle black...you post a video bashing herpers in the industry who have done tons for the cause and then when they reply you try and chastise them for responding. NICE!

And then you post this in a rebuttle..."I can tell you 2-3 months ago we filmed with Icon Films/Discovery a Reptile Experts side of the "Super SNake" potential in Florida. The Burmese Python x African Rock Hybrid that "idiots" are claiming could make a Super Invasive. They are finalizing(now) a show on it and I got involved to show the other side of this RIDICULOUS debate." WHAT? How is that different than what we did. Except we did it in a series so we can get THE WHOLE TRUTH OUT THERE...not just a little blurb. To define your actions look up the word hypocrite....no really...literally...you nailed it!

And as far as NATIONAL coverage...there was already NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL COVERAGE...FOR THE OTHER SIDE! We just leveled the playing field and educated MILLIONS about the truth. We hear from them all over the world and they get it...they learned something...the truth about the situation in the Everglades. My apologies if that fell short for you.

We have never had issues before, but your incoherent, misdirected ramblings in this video have peaked my ire. There is no direction, nothing positive, you contradict yourself, and you tear apart the fabric of the industry. Not really what I expect from someone of your level in the industry...IMHO.

This will be my last post here. I have given you...and anyone else who fancies contacting me...my contact info, so use it or don't, but I can't tell you how disappointed I am in your post and finger pointing.

My energy will now go back into trying to fix this mess related to the ban...
