Joe, is that the frostbite? I seriously wish you'd quit making me drool on my keyboard with all of that cool stuff!



And who is this Frank character everybody seems to be talking to or talking about lately, the name rings a bell, but it's just not registering.



Honestly though, it's refreshing to be in the bleachers rather than on the battlefield for once. Sadly enough, no matter how many people come out and try to explain to Frank the error of his ways and explain how ignorant his many conjectural assumptions are, whether about us as keepers or about his supposed "field" vs. captive observations go, his ego just filters all good information and twists it into something else just so he can argue with people. Just look at his recent dialogue with Gregg... I read and reread everything Gregg has said to Frank and I have to be honest, I felt Gregg came off as very respectful and trying to be open minded to Frank's assertions with NO name calling or attacking him, he just said Frank's way of thinking was rather outdated which is patently true but it's no attack. But then you see how Frank claims over and over how Gregg has been name calling and attacking him and then saying that Gregg's (fictitious)efforts are "weak" repeatedly, it's bizarre behavior.



It's quite apparent that Frank is either not reading or comprehending what many of us have been writing which could lead to interesting and intelligent conversations if he wasn't so hellbent on twisting and distorting things into underhanded attacks on us as keepers which ultimately benefits no one here.



Sadly, it's a waste of time, as I found out, to try and converse with the man on any meaningful level. He's not here to learn, he's here to preach. He's not here to be part of the community, he wants to BE the community. He's got his mind made up and no one is going to convince him otherwise whether it's relevant information about us or the snakes, he simply doesn't want to hear it.



MASH



Good luck Gregg, Rusty and Joe, I gave up to save my sanity!
