you folks are super territorial, but then, so are the snakes you keep. So I do not expect you to be different then that



You are right Frank, we are territorial but only on the notion that we try to keep this forum, our "territory" as you say, Troll-Free! In other words, everybody that is respectful towards others, asks and/or shares something of worth for the community and doesn't have a god-complex is more than welcome to join our ranks and be a part of this community.



You on the other hand are disrespectful towards practically everybody that doesn't bow before you, you add little worth to the community with your self-indulgent answers that often don't relate to the direct questions asked and you also have a huge god-complex which very few here are tolerant of.



Ironically, you claim that we are just like the snakes we keep which means that since you so often claim to be an expert on behaviors of snakes and try to come to an understanding for them would mean that you would come to some kind of equilibrium with us as well. Being that you equate us to our snakes means that if you cannot find a means to respecting or understanding us, how in the world can you even relate to the very snakes you accuse us of being like? You sir have shown yet another example of your idiocy!



If being different then you guys is annoying, then holy moly, I am that, hahahahahahahahahahaha



Frank, everybody here is different, some folks being very very different. But the one thing that brings us together is our love of hognose and the respect that we have for others that not only share the same passion but have the same respect for everybody else despite differences of opinion. Where you differ from everybody here is that you are disrespectful towards everybody that doesn't subscribe to your feeble attempts at being a herpetological god. If you were just to offer your opinions based on your experiences without feeling the need to bash those that do things differently, that would be one thing. Instead, you have very little experience to share that doesn't render on belittling those that do things differently based on the many more years of husbandry of hognose snakes than you have.



Sure, you might adopt a more natural means of keeping your snakes and have different ideas and goals for keeping hognose, nobody here has ever berated you for that! Yet you always claim that we do. Well, I challenge you to show me an instance where someone here has challenged you on your goals of wanting to keep hognose in the environments you claim. You can't! Yet, I can find and quote many instances not only where you make these false claims but also show many instances how you berate those that do things differently which shows that you are not only a liar but a hypocrite!



I would also like to point out that we have seen many new people here other than yourself and you seem to be the only one that keeps attracting a bunch of negativity? Can you guess why Frank? Everybody else that is new here seems to fit in just fine. Doesn't that make you wonder why Frank? If we are so territorial as you claim, then by all means, why are you the only one that is having a difficult time trying to fit in here?



The truly sad and tragic thing for you Frank is that even in your 60's, you are no wiser than you were when you were a child as that is how you are acting now, like a petulant child that throws a temper tantrum and makes everybody else miserable when they don't get their way.



Just in the last couple days alone, I've already gotten a couple of emails from people that no longer want to participate on this forum because of your insolent ways and all the drama you bring forth. If that doesn't speak volumes to you, well, it sure does to me. However, I'm not going to let you bully me or anybody here so that you can try to take over this forum for your own twisted ego driven agenda!
