It does,

you want to make it all about friends and such, I don't. My friends are strong enough to understand why something is said. We are talking about the health and welfare of captive snakes. We are suppose to be thoughtful enough to understand what's important.

What bothers me is learning I was doing something poorly. Not what any yahoo on the internet thinks or says. You, are suppose to consider the message, not who is saying it, or if it hurts your feelings.

Heres something to think about, when I was younger, at that time, I had famous herpetologist criticize this or that. Sometimes they were wrong and sometimes they were right. What did I do? I considered what was said, and kept it in my mind. I did not argue like children.

WE do not have to like learning and it can be painful. But its not about us, its about helpless reptiles, confined in a box. If you think about it, there are about a million ways to make it better for them. I ask you to pick one and run with it.

You seem to make it about one of us, or one of them. you know, your opponent. Happily, I am not one of you. And I did not want to be. I just like hognose.
