After some thought let me attempt to explain what is going through my mind as to this good guy/bad guy thing. We're talking about my vote with respect to Bill Leverton and David's vote with respect to NERD.
A vote in that poll should relate to the business ethics of the party involved. If it was limited to people who had done business with Bill the vote might be 10-1 in his favor and he is a lying, stealing scumbag. That poll is meant as a "can you confidently do business with this party?" Well...let's take Bill first because he is easy. Bill is an admitted thief. He stole a snake and then tried to peddle it. And then lied about it. And he admits he is a scumbag. Not a tough choice. He gets a
sign and a "bad guy".
What NERD did was as dumbass as it comes, but it does not rise to the level of "they cannot be trusted to give you what you pay for or to honestly do business with". It was dumb, some might call it criminal, but it in no way impugned, say, the value of a Ball Python or Blood Python that someone might buy from them. So, for the UMPTEENTH time, yes I am outraged at what I saw in those pictures (there Karen, I have said it YET AGAIN) but in my opinion it is not a reflection of their business ethics, just a reflection of bad judgement, perhaps stupidity.
And that is why I voted Bill a bad guy, and think that NERD does not deserve the same, and did not deserve it from David. David made his point, put a stain on NERD's reputation. Spread enough chum so the sharks from elsewhere all descended here and chewed them up to no end and that is sufficient.
And now as for the personal comments Karen, if and when you can get off that high horse you are on where you hold me to some ridiculous standard and accuse me of being a hypocrite and condoning what was in those pictures, and being a doctor who won't admit I am wrong...when you can come down and talk, I will happily retract my statement and make amends. Until then, leave me out of your tirades. I really am not interested in more fighting on this subject.
