: I posted this because I finally got fed up with the monitor forum, which
: like this one at times gets filled with overzealous opinions from
: immature people

: Now, I am not talking just about kids, but people that act like kids. Kinda
: like the school yard bully, or, MR. know it all.

: I have been at these forums for over a year and I have seen and read a lot of
: stuff, which if it wasn't for my thick skin, I would have left a long time ago.

: Most of the adults that I know that are true herpetologists and bio people don't
: bothwr going to these forums, for the same reasons. They make some informed, real
: life statements, and then get slammed and ridiculed by some bunch of teens or fanatics.

: Anyway, I am definitely not posting as much, and, I am certainly cutting back on any
: reponses. I get enough negativity and insults from people that at least have the maturity
: to do it in person.

: Some of you may want to keep this diatribe in mind the next time you notice that new people
: don't come back and some old ones just kind of fade away.
