You're a friend of "Leo". Funny how he hasn't been around for a few days now but we've heard from JP and now you, Kristen.

Here's the thing, Kristen. Yes, he's allowed to do whatever he wants. If he wants to continue to contribute to an already serious problem (one which you admittedly understand and evidently care nothing about) that IS his business. Since he CHOOSES to contribute to a serious problem with which I, and many others, are attempting to rectify then that IS my business as well as the business of others. If he, and you evidently, didn't want an opinion contrary to his/yours then nothing should have been revealed regarding the breeding of iguanas on a public message board and no one would have been the wiser. What I have stated so far, is my opinion alone. Some may agree with it some may not. There is nothing cast in stone anywhere that states that I MUST show "Leo" any particular level of courtesy. To date, "Leo" has not shown me anything to make me think that he warrants it. "Leo" has chosen to show his own "lack of courtesy" as you phrase it by 1.) not warning people visiting this board of graphic pictures of gross anatomy of a severed iguana tail and 2.) failing to show even a modest amount of respect when it was made known that there are individuals that participate here that would rather not be exposed to such graphic images. That's not to say that the pictures could not be posted - just that a warning would have been nice before hand. When you lead with unprofessionalism as a first impression it's often difficult to recover from it - something that "Leo" has not even made the slightest attempt to do.

Now, where did you come from Kristen? Are you, "Leo" and JP jumping around city libraries changing isp's just so "you all" can keep replying to me? I should be worthy so much attention.... You see, part of the problem here is that all of a sudden people ("Leo") drop in on a board and immediately begin with potentially controversial material - either accidently or simply to act as a "troll". Somehow, I fail to comprehend that "Leo" managed all of this accidently which leaves only one other option..... Insulting and/or advising individuals, with whom he has had absolutely no previous exposure, as to how to raise their children is definitely not one of the ways to make a good impression first, second or fifth.... Having "friends" drop in on the same board without any prior participation does nothing to help "Leo's" credibility either. But that is just my opinion - voiced publicly. Did you miss my reference to the emergency rectal craniotomy or did I forget to mention it earlier? Since I'm being unprofessional and uncourteous I'd hate it if you missed out on anything....
