ok now you picked a fight by putting words in my mouth!



Actually Troy,



What I was trying to imply, or what I will try to imply now, is that it is simply a difference of opinion, nothing more, nothing less.



I don't keep snakes in cages because "I" don't think it's right. I'm entitled to that opinion w/o a label of "Holier than thou".



After Brad joined joined the discussion I was really hoping to mediate between Chris and Brad becasue we are all friends here and I really didn't want it to deteriorate into labeling and such.



And if I do feel as though "I've grown out of it" that suits me! That doesn't mean it should suit you too, nor did I ever imply that it should!



More about me: I don't keep snakes at home anymore because "I've grown out of it". I'm happy to go collecting with the Zoo and bring back snakes on permit so that they can put them in "Jail"!! lol I love that, hey I'm entitled to my opinion, but just like my religion I don't try to force it on anyone.



Saying "I wish more folks would practise catch and relase" is not the same thing as saying "hey you guys are all idiots for catching all these graybands" Remember, I used to be just as guilty as the next guy.



I don't think any less of you because you have different opinions than I do Troy! Nor do I think any less of you because you keep snakes "in jail" lol and I don't (anymore)!



So please, be careful about putting words in my mouth. If I sounded like that I am truly sorry and I'm glad I get a chance here to clarify my position, but to each his own!



Best

Joe
