Well, not being the type to talk behind someone's back, I dropped Whitt an e-mail. I was hoping to elicit a response from the idiot, and did. His response doesn't seem to gel with anything he's said here so far.
He hasn't answered the questions in my reply as of this time. Those answers, if forthcoming, will be posted as well.
The quote below is from the last e-mail I sent, so for chronological order, read from the bottom up.

OK, so what did the male die from then? Did you get a necropsy? Are you aware
of how stupid it looks to post a pic of a dead dragon? Or how your posts on
Fauna Classifieds, claiming that the dragon died for lack of crickets looks?
Healthy dragons don't keel over for "no reason" as stated on your site, nor
do they starve because they miss a few weeks' worth of crickets, as you
stated on Fauna Classifieds. You're responsible for finding out exactly what
killed that male, b/c if it's viral, it can easily be passed on to the
babies.
And your 'big man' remark is pretty funny coming from someone who was
threatening a cricket supplier with JAG lawyers and bragging about his
alleged weapons qualifications scores on an open forum.
I don't wish any harm on you or your family. I am just utterly amazed at the
gall you exibit in posting that ad on KS and in your behavior on Fauna
Classifieds. I haven't seen anything to change that opinion, so far, except
some conflicting stories, worthless threats, and brags about your shooting
and GPA.
Get the dragon necropsied and post the results. Then be a man and apologize
for your attacks on others. If you post a dead animal and then complain
about the cricket supplier being at fault for its death -- you should have
found other food for the dragon, regardless -- then you give the impression
that yes, you are a P.O.S. If you're in the military, consider what your CO
and First Sgt. will think of your public behavior. If they don't give a
crap, you know I can find someone in your chain of command who will. Your
behavior as a breeder has been way out of line and your behavior as a soldier
(if in fact, you are one) is loaded with UCMJ violations.
Your e-mail seems like an attempt to change my opinion of you somewhat, so
that's what you can do to change it.
