Ok, here's Mine & my daughters experience with Snakes at Sunset...

Hopefully the link works to my photo album, this is the Pastave we purchased from him. There's a long story to go with this Pastave, My daughter & I purchased it from Mike. Please tell me what you see wrong with it...

Again, it was an assumption on my part, but I don't think I was the only person who got the impression that she had purchased the snake for her child. Since she kept using the term "we" and was speaking for herself and her daughter, instead of saying "my daughter purchased a snake she was unhappy with".
I consider this rather relevant, considering Tina wasn't the person in communication with Mike, and I was under the impression that we aren't supposed to speak for others on the BOI, as it is second hand information (or "hearsay"). An adult doesn't generally take over the speaking role in an argument for another adult, but you do for a child.
Also, Post #62 Tina says, "Even though I am the one who brought it to the boards", which may have added to my confusion as to who started the thread.
As for the other post, perhaps I just didn't make myself clear, so I will elucidate:
In Post #70 Lucille quotes Tina, and points out Tina's statement saying she is going to make her daughter post here ("I will have her post...").
In Post #72 Fangthane quotes Lucille, and claims Tina has already provided the information in her post that Lucille had requested, but that wasn't the information Lucille (not to mention myself and others) had been asking for--we had all been asking to hear from Cheyenne.
In Post #76 I (apparently clumsily) tried to explain that Tina was not in possession of a post FROM Cheyenne that had then been posted on the thread (the post from Cheyenne that we were all asking for), but that Tina had said that she would "have" (get, persuade, force) Cheyenne to post. So, no, Tina didn't provide what was asked for and Lucille didn't "just jump on one meaningless snippet" as Fangthane asserted.
All of which, I posted in response to Fangthane's post; which, as far as I can see, was made solely in an attempt to be snide to myself and Lucille, and did nothing to add clarity to the thread or to help resolve the situation. I don't call that "rough", I call it childish.
