: My purpose in bringing my experience here, is that there have
: been times, sometimes I think too often, when some people make
: assumptions and proceed to verbally attack someone, even though
: it may have been an innocent or purely uninformed comment or question.

: I believe, in my opinion, it is unjust to personally attack someone
: without proven just cause. And it is my opinion that I am stating here.
: I believe that behaving like an adult is a worthwhile goal, even though
: even though one may not be an adult, via age and/or maturity, yet.

: I made my comments after going back through the ig and monitor forums and
: looking at the posts by people that, on more than one occasion, opted for in-
: flammatory language and personal attacks. I wanted to make sure that what I
: said was not based on a "knee jerk reaction". Unfortunately, these forementioned,
: people tend to dominate a forum and succeed in eliminating anyone else that
: doesn't bend to their "rules" and behavior. Futhermore, I notices that these in-
: dividuals continued their harrangue on their victims even after the initial
: discussion had ended.

: So, based on what I have said above, the forum ceases to become an open platform
: for ideas and opinions. And instead, becomes a private club relegated only to those
: of the same opinion and means of communication ( ie: language and method of conversing).

: If you may have noticed, I have been criticized for having this opinion, both by
: legitimate posters and anonomously(sic).

: It would be unfortunate if the ig forum became as nasty as the monitor forum, which is
: why I used it as an example.

: As far as what animals we have. We have 3 igs, 1 sav monitor, 3 cats and thats it. All reptile
: live in large, double walled, insulated, micro climate enclosures with: multiple thermostats,
: timers,UV lights, heat lamps, etc. All are fed specialized diets based on the consensus of my
: experience and the feedback from zoologists, zoo vets, biologists and reptile breeders. Which
: is not to say that I am not open to new ideas, just not to criticism with no basis in fact.

: PS. There were good comments made (the majority)to my monitor post in that forum, which I did take
: to heart and apply to my own particular situation.
