Nazanova, "ssnakess" is just the name of the forum. The forum its self is not strictly for snakes.
Yeah it's totally fine to have opinion, but it's not ok to attack the guy. Oh I stand corrected, I take it back.

Re: Brian Barczyk

I think in the name of professionalism, we are going to conclude this and lock it down.

Yesterday I was attacked on a monitor forum for a video I put out 7 years ago where I showed a monitor that was in a feeding cage, not it's actual cage, but a feeding cage. It was not his permanent home, but one we would move him to in order to feed him. I gave that animal away 6 years ago and yet I received about 100 messages about how I need to keep that monitor differently and how terrible of a person I am. Really? So I have to go back and defend myself for a video I did 7 years ago? Not to mention everyone posted like this video happened last week... Also, there was recently a very positive post on a forum about me and sure enough after a ton of super flattering things, the negative nillies came out and attacked the heck out of me.
Now do I really care about this stupidity? Not at all, but the reason I bring this up is for you guys to understand how YOU are the problem. Rather than helping change peoples minds or fight our fight supporting USARK or sacrificing to make our hobby better, you chose to attack me. Me of all people? And in the process you make people not want to have anything to do with our hobby because you all look like arguing morons. Now I am FAR from perfect, but I think most people would agree that I make more of a impact on the hobby than almost anyone. I spend an enormous amount of money and time promoting this hobby in ways that never makes me one penny. I do it because I want people to love these animals as much as I do. I also never think I deserve a pass, but I do think that I should at least get the respect I deserve for all that I do for this hobby.
There are plenty of people and things I see in the hobby that I don't like, but I realize that publicly attacking someone only makes all of us look terrible. Then you wonder why some of the big breeders don't want to help and don't want to participate in our community. Do you blame them??? Look at the way you treat us... I go to bat for every person in the hobby on a daily basis, and I don't post and brag about the battles I fight. I do them because I love this hobby.
There's nothing I enjoy more than turning a snake hater into a snake lover, but sometimes you guys make my job a lot harder than it should be. In honesty I am starting to really dislike the "hobby" and what it's turning into. I love the animals more than I can even explain, but you guys need to grow up and get off your fricken high horses and make a difference. And I'm not talking sitting behind your keyboard and accusing others of not caring for their animals. Do something positive and stop acting like you're in 5th grade.
Let's hope I don't have to rant again about this. But honestly, if we continue down this road none of us will have a hobby to worry about. So please grow up and if you have a problem with me, then talk to me directly like a grown up and don't post on some random forum like a linch mob...... We all have a common enemy and I can assure you it's nobody in this hobby. It's the people that are trying to stop us all from keeping these animals. I know how fun it is to gang up on a "big name" in the hobby. But lets try to put our energy into attacking the real enemy. Feel free to give this post a "share"... Thanks, Brian...
