By all means feel free to report me, I said nothing wrong. Please do not cry "why are you picking on me just because I am a teenager" and then use the fact that you are a teenager to gain sympathy because it doesn't wash in my book. If you want to be treated like an adult then you must accept that adults often disagree and openly let each other know that. I didn't address you in any manner other than how I would have addressed an adult behaving the same way other than to point out that like so many other young people you convey an attitude and an "I'm not listening because I don't like what I hear" stance when posting.

If you are feeling humiliated, I suggest you look deep within to find the reason. While my post was rather stern, I have to say, based on my own observations, that I am entitled to have as is everyone here, it was true.I can't speak for Christy and I won't however she, like everyone else here, is entitled to draw her own observations from the posts made here.

As for "crying" because you think it was my intention to say things that make you feel bad or demean your character, you should take a good look at the post you just made. I never accused you of being anything other than a young girls who does not seem to listen or read posts in their entirety (as in you were told the iguana was not availble for adoption the first time you posted and then you post on the same subject saying you are thinking about adopting it -only then the head of the program posted did you seem to listen). In your post you have made some serious allegations as to the mental well being and personal nature of both Christy and I. My sole intention in answering the hasty and bitter post you orig. made to Christy was to try to make you take responcibility for your words -nothing more nothing less. While you may not see yourself as the way it was described, others were seeing you that way. If you choose not to post here that is your decision -there are lots of other people who come here for help that do actually take the time to listen and learn.

I'm very glad that you care for Isis and that you feel you have a good handle on her care. However, even if no one else agrees with the rest of my opinion, I'm sure there are one or two out there who will agree that taking an unsocilized iguana into a huge crowd is a terrible idea both for the humans involved and the iguana. Furthermore, thinking of bringing another iguana into your home, when you know that this iguana will need just as much time and attention as the first iguana if not more, when your first iguana still needs your utmost attention, is not a good idea either. Good thing it is a mute point and the iguana is not available for adoption.....

Well, it seems to me that once again I'm going to get flack because of someone else's temper tantrum ... so be it. Quite frankly, not unlike others, there are more important things that call my attention. Good luck IS, no matter what you decide to do about posting here.
