Well maybe the spin I put on the post was a little sensitive, but hey, I know I was not the only one that read it that way.

The way it came across to me is the same as if somebody had started a thread titled: “Criminals attend Big Guy’s reptile shows” and went on to describe how they had heard from a friend that some of the audience at Bob’s shows had criminal backgrounds and as such one should take care when attending these shows.

Now the fact that criminals are amongst the audience at reptile shows would come as no surprise to most be they pick pockets or axe murders. But the strong association with Big Guy’s reptile shows (as opposed to reptile shows in general) would be misleading and unappreciated.

Probably time to let the matter rest. Buyer beware, caveat emptor or however you prefer to put it, shop around and don’t buy them if you don’t want them.
