I think it’s fairly obvious that it is a case of someone going into it with a certain idea and being dead set on proving that.
I’m not meaning to offend anyone – but I can say that I was the 3rd poster in the bp.net thread. This is what I posted:
I didn’t side with the poster or the breeder, I didn’t question the setup or his usage of the word quarantine – I simply said working with animals was unpredictable. Which it is.
The second part I was asking for a clarification – based on this part from the original post I was uncertain whether or not the breeder was giving him a free snake or was intending on charging him for another one:
This was broadude’s (deb’s) response:
I never made any comment on whether that was the right or wrong way to handle it or said that the poster should have to or not mind waiting. Whether or not I thought that my post was merely asking for clarification. This was before anyone else was really a part of the thread it so I can guarantee it had nothing to do with any one individual posting and I don’t know Adam Kuhn so it had nothing to do with that. Seems it was a simple case of hearing one side of a story and refusing to accept there may have been another side, especially considering such a defensive answer to a neutral post.
You are right about that. I did have my own opinion. Trying to prove myself right? how do you prove an opinion right. I do stand by what I said.
If i paid for something I would want it, I am exactly like that. So yes, I did support the buyer on that. He said he offered to pay shipping, he showed me pics of the set up and snake....yep. I had an opinion. Support a bad guy thread..you are leaping right there. I said, I don't see why he should have to wait...how is that supporting a bad guy thread?? I agreed with THAT PART of it.
I really wish y'all would stop taking out bits and pieces and let people go read the whole thing themselves, including the cut out pieces that were set in quarantine.
Yep..I am dogged when I think I am right. I don't see where the op was wrong to want another snake and not have to wait 6 weeks, and I offered another opinion.
For those that think it was a "pat on the back" or a "stunt" or something other than what it was..I feel sorry for y'all. If I wanted attention (which Y'ALL (here) are giving me regardless of whether i asked for it or not)..I have other ways to sell my animals. Telling a bunch of people that I helped ONE person isn't much of a "stunt." I have done way more than that if I really wanted attention.
I have this problem..I don't like other people putting motives and thinking they know WHY I did this or that. I get dogged and angry when it happens. I am old enough and pretty sure that I know myself well enough to know why I do anything that I do. I do not need to lie, paint pretty pictures or create something that's not there.
It appears that some (you know who you are..just want to be RIGHT cause you sure ain't going to let it go). You want to be right that I am so egoistical that I need to brag about helping someone to get attention. other people help and talk about it and they aren't dragged over the net and stoned in the forums. Perhaps it was the fact that I mentioned it in the same post that was about another breeder?
I have no clue as to why the fact that I have a difference of opinion, or was on the side of the young man should have earned this much infamous attention..but I am getting ideas, and so are people reading. Some of you need to go back and reread your own posts in other forums, other threads and see where you may have done the same thing I did..brag about your animals, or someone giving your something or giving someone something. I didn't label anyone..sometimes a gift is just that, and an opinion is just that.
Someone once told me (after the first forum stoning) that I was accepted by Fauna and I laughed my ass off..I told him no...I have no such false belief..they are just waiting for me to screw up!
Why don't you contact the OP and ask him to change the title?? Did this occur to anyone?? The mods there aren't like here, they will change things if asked. I haven't spoke to the young man since I delivered the snake!
and I am disinfecting tubs anyway.
