Re: Monitor enclosure discussion thread
I think 'pathological' is the key word. His need to be seen as the expert and his desire to put everyone else down to maintain that status in his mind does suggest a pathology. It's not hard to find examples of him doing complete 180 degree turns in things he says to avoid being seen as having done something 'wrong'.
He gets away with it by choosing his audience. The posters on his forum have two things in common: Not a single one of them has seen a monitor in the wild (so they'll accept anything he says about wild monitors and the biologists that study them) and most have very little experience with breeding monitors. The ones that do have sent me emails telling me what they really think.
