A lot of assumptions were made about the start of this post, though. Frankly, just because someone receives animals from another name in the hobby does
not mean they bought or traded with them recently. For all we know, Jim might've gotten animals from Manny from a deal years and years old, that he was making right with him. Because we don't know those details, I think it's presumptuous to judge him for it - my two cents. Equally: I don't feel an explanation is owed to an outside party not involved in the transaction.
Just how I feel about it.
