Barry, you'll notice my first post on your thread was complimenting your EDB's and your caging. I don't really agree with free handling but it's still a free country (despite Obama's best attempts) so do what you want. I haven't seen anyone in this thread sling insults and the one post that disagreed with free handling wasn't directed at you.
You posted a picture of your shirt that mocks people who disagree with free handling so I was just making a joke that Venomous is misspelled on the "Venemous Free Handlers" shirt. I can tell that you are passionate about your animals and I don't question your motives. I think a lot of free handlers are show-offs and their track record of getting bitten is nowhere near as good as yours.
I can understand the temptation to put your hands on an EDB. (I just do it with restraint tubes). We've both been doing this long enough where I'm as unlikely to change your opinion as you are to change mine. I hope you continue to be safe and enjoy your EDB's.
