This is what another member said.


You just did what you have accused me of doing!

Thanks for unknowingly using your self as an example for what you think I did.


At this point this should just stop, is it worth wasting any more time on this thread? Not really so can we just drop it's and move on?
You still have not proven that that snake is what you said it was. Just because you say it is and someone else agrees with you does not make it a fact. You had to make sure that people Googled the exact same picture as you, because other pictures may prove you wrong.

In this thread we are talking about Constrictor constrictor and not just any large snake. There is no question that many large snakes have killed people over the years. But here we are talking about a Boa constrictor that the lady is letting run loose in her house.

That being said, I'm done with this. Some just want to bicker and the OP has nothing to say or has moved on.

This thread is over with I believe.

Toodles!

If you are done with this thread, then why do you keep checking it and posting on it? You need to stop calling others names. Be polite when you post.

Re: My ACE prefers cold?

Because I'm hoping To see some sense I suppose.

And as far as being 'polite' I suggest you take your own advice on that one.

Show me where I have not been polite, where I have called some one names.

Like I said it's a matter of Experience, I'm sure there are species that you know very well where it takes a quick glance to see exactly what it is. It's hard to point out every detail that makes it what it is because of the slight variations some ones gunna do a google images search and say well bla bla... But this debate isn't about that thread so we'll just leave it at that.

As far as this thread we are talking about. I will say I should have said maybe a few instead of plenty.. In my mined when I said plenty I was thinking 1 or 2 cases is plenty to show that it can and dose happen. So that is my bad.
Should have used the word few or couple vs plenty.

Plenty as in a couple being plenty. Know what I mean?

Re: My ACE prefers cold?

Politeness isn't limited to calling someone names. And, for the record, I said you were being a certain way, not that you are that way.

Hounding someone for information and proof, and trying to make them look like an idiot is rude, and those actions do not require you to call names, but simply to insinuate that they are either ignorant or a liar, and insinuation is sometimes just as bad as flat out calling someone those things directly.

Note: not saying anyone are the things I mentioned, just used them for examples.

Agreed. That was a nice way to settle this debate.

Asking for proof is not being rude. Wanting to search for the truth through facts is educating yourself and others. People tend to get defensive when they can not prove their point.

Re: My ACE prefers cold?

Asking and demanding are different things and as I read through this it felt far more demanding than a polite "hey, where did you read that? I'd like to look into that" vs "that's not true, show me".

God damn you just won't give it up! Why you feel the need to sit here an jaw jack is beyond me! I have tried so many times now to end this stupid pointless discussion (politely) and you just keep starting it back up. I just ****ing said that I should have used a different word than plenty like a couple and that I apologized and you just need to keep going and going. To me 1 or 2 cases is 'plenty' reason to show that it can happen.

I agreed with you and now you start with the profanity. By forum rules your post should be removed. Adding **** to imply profanity is still against the rules.
