I don't read the boards much anymore, but I have a question

Why is it that when people (I'm picking on your post because it is such a good example) disagree, they feel it is necessary to degrade or insult the person they are in disagreement with?

Wouldn't it be much more effective to use facts to support your position rather than insults?

This person seems to be asking a REASONABLE question and has responded in a REASONABLE way when addressed in that manner. If you have spent any time at all in the swamps of the South, I can assure you that she is telling you exactly what you'd find there..... thousands of Cottonmouths.... maybe hundreds of thousands or millions of them. If we're talking about collecting a few hundred snakes they'd never be missed. Following the discussion, I believe this lady is not interested in just the money. It sounds like she'd rather collect and sell (or perhaps give away) the snakes, rather than see them fall victim to the hoe, shovel or shotgun. It sounds like she's got her head screwed on pretty straight to me....

Please take note that I did not attack you as a person, make any comments about your language skills, or heritage, and I still managed to make what little point I set out to make.... amazing!

Have a nice day.

Tom Townsend
