Is that what it is going to have to come down to to keep you from putting that on every post? It just seems like harassment at that point. If you suggest that, I'll just do that.

You may think I'm a bad guy, but I'm not. I had a shitty point in my life. I made mistakes and learned from them. I corrected what I could. I won't discuss it further. I got divorced and go to college full time, that's my goal now. I don't ever want to sell herps to the public again, so no worries there. I'd rather go back to what I used to, enjoying the animals, both for research and my own personal purposes.

Ultimately, you're directing your frustration about having failed to clear your name at the wrong person. We all have hard times in our life but the type of person we ultimately are is shaped by how we handle those hard times. If you can't openly and publicly state that you took care of and repaid your past faults in full without fear of being called out for not having done so, that shows me you are still that person and that you should be avoided.

You may claim to have no desire to get back into selling herps, but after a three year hiatus that was spurred by events surrounding the transgressions in that thread, getting personal specimens and becoming active in the online herp communities is one not so large step away from your old practices. I for one do not want to see others fall victim to the same scenarios outlined in the fauna thread. When you've fully repaid to others what is due to them, then maybe you can claim to not be that person. Until then though, I don't buy that you aren't.

I don't have the time, interest or desire to follow you around and post that thread in response to everything you post. I definitely have no problem pointing people to it should it seem you are seeking to engage in the sale of anything, however.

Tell you what, I'll just make a new online profile so I'm not harassed by you. So instead of being completely out there and in the open, I'll go under a different name. Sounds like you encouraged a better alternative.

As for anything to do with fauna, I will never publicly acknowledge it again. Regardless of my efforts to take care of people. Why? Because I learned no matter what you do, you can't keep people from bashing you if they feel that you deserve it. So I'll let it die down instead and take care of issues privately.
