while i see and agree to some extent with your thought, i would say, it is good for everyone to state their opinions to idiots like that, that just post to simply rile things up. i do know, that there a quite a few congress people, that do look at things like this, just never post or anything, just to see what people are saying and talking about in herp forums. if they see some yahoo post stupid ignorant ranting crap, and no one comes back to defend our hobby, it also looks bad.
