Dam,
I wish I had read the whole post before I simply wished Ray well.(dam the ADD) I can't believe that another herper would be so condescending. Why would someone say these things to a comrade in a life threatening situation? I have no clue. In my humble opinion, we are all on a very exclusive, and already socially outcast team, and to turn on each other is just pure idiocy. I can just imagine the opponents of our hobby laughing out loud as we destroy ourselves, and getting the biggest kick out of watching us attack one another, with the old "I know better than you BS". Each of us started out the same, Ignorant, and eager to learn. In my mind this is a lifelong journey of the joy of learning, and the pain of mistakes, whatever the cause. All of us better realize, and quickly, that attacking others for mistakes made, especially life threatening ones, is not only "*** exposing" it is destructive to our love of snakes. Why not write the idiotic bans for them? Wake up, band together, and stand strong. We are one family, with a shared love of snakes of all kinds. Yet we cannot support each other?
