Bob, your post is so spot on, breeders all over are clapping their hands as they read this. True breeders and herpers.
To say you love the hobby also should regard the fact of having to embrace everything that goes along with it, in terms of the scene, as a whole, i.e. People. You may not be a people person yourself, and that is fine. However, you must be able to share ideas, and not seek out to bully others, as the typical 3 you have pointed out, who have themselves destroyed what once was a very nice forum. You may not agree, but you should always try to treat others with respect, not berate others due to differences of opinion behind a keyboard far away safe in their homes. Anything you see that is a post back towards someone berating others is simply a reaction. Without a cause, no reaction would be pursued.
Those in the scene know how things are, and what truly goes on.
The trick is, when it comes to bullies, is to ignore. Once they realize they receive no attention from their juvenile behavior, they stop or leave.
I was watching one of my favorite movies the other day, where, in a scene, some young boys are bullying a girl during swim class, in the pool. Teacher catches them, and the main bully screams out, " What??????? I didn't do anything!! "..while the whole world had just watched him be a bully. It really did remind me of a few insecure individuals here, who do the exact same thing.
Oh well, it is just one internet forum out of many. I would not let the rudeness of others with unfortunate reps ruin it. Simply put, contribute here, and ignore those who seek to point you towards their ego, versus the most important thing being discussed, which is snakes.
Great post Bob! You are among the elite in this hobby, and I always appreciate your zeal, positive outlook, and complete regard for others. You rule, my friend!!
