Brandon, try to hear me out before you jump down my throat next.
You seem to be new here. New to dragons I mean. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe you have been doing this for awhile and have just now started posting on the message boards. Whatever the case, I have talked to several people and they too aren't familiar with you other then reading several of your posts over the last couple of weeks. Those posts, for better or worse stuck with them.
I guess I just don't understand your firm/aggresive stance on this. It seems to me that you don't even have a dog in the fight. Are you currently working with potential blue eyes and trying to prove this trait within your colony??
Sometimes it's best to keep your mouth closed and your ears open. It's a piece of advice that I have taken with me throughout life and it has paid off several times in the past for me.
In this instance, you have come out of the gates in a fury and are rapidly burning bridge after bridge. You have offended pioneers in this hobby. Guys that have been doing it for 20+ years.
The better option (in my opinion) might have been to just sit back and take it all in. Hear both sides out. This is obviously a topic that you are passionate about so if you feel the need to add something to the argument, then add supportive documentation that backs your beliefs up.
As it stands now, the last couple of weeks, you have come off as nothing more then a cocky hobbyists that is quick to run off at the mouth. Those aren't great qualities in a guy that wants to have a bearded dragon business I assume.
Steven (like him or not) is a pioneer in this hobby and he has done many great things with these animals. He is in no way the idiot that you are trying to make him out to be and even the folks that have butted heads with him over this whole blue eye debate know that.
He is a generous person and will answer the phone and give advise to anyone that calls him.
Wait, you already know this. He sent you an awesome adult male bearded dragon last week for just the cost of shipping didn't he?? I remember now. You took a break from the bashing long enough to secure that animal for free and now that you have received him, you are carving Steve up again.
Hopefully you take into consideration some of the things in which I have said. It wouldn't surprise me though if you just get defensive and add me to the list of people that you flame publicly.
