The sad thing is, that whole ordeal was just represented in such an amateurish way that even if it is a real heritable trait, many doubts have been cast upon it based on the way John introduced these to the public and because of his extremely defensive attitude when challenged about them. Of course the challenges only happened because of his inability to offer any explanation on how he even proved it out as a co-dominant trait, so it was weird that he'd take such offensive if it were indeed a true morph; I'd only expect that kind of attitude from someone that was misrepresenting something, not saying that he was, but it's generally the response likely to be given. You'd think that if he had the evidence to prove the genetics to the rest of us, then he'd be more than happy to present his evidence and proving his work on them rather than acting out like he did with his snarky comments and jacking the prices around on them just to prove whatever bizarre point he was trying to make.



After all, the pictures and video (when available) were intriguing enough even though several people pondered whether the pictures could have been photoshopped or not. But honestly, they didn't look all that enhanced to me based on the rest of the surroundings which looked quite untouched and normal in terms of color. Oddly enough, the Youtube videos he once showed us have been taken down and I don't think he really posted any pictures of the EVO's on the forum, or if he did, they are no longer viewable. I would think that if a person had discovered a new morph, that they would keep everything up and online for the world to see rather than just popping up one time in the classifieds announcing a new morph, showing off a few pictures and videos and then shortly after removing all evidence that they even existed. It just doesn't add up.



Either way, based on John's behavior over all of this, even if the EVO's are a real morph, I'd be very hesitant in wanting to do business with him.
