Look, the only way you are going to dig your way out of this is to just let things go. Break the cycle. I guarantee that if you just let things settle down, put a little more thought into your posts/threads that within a week everything will be fine. Most people who are commenting negatively on your posts are just trolling. This website generally speaking is very forgiving. I'm not saying that you shouldn't defend yourself when necessary but rather to chose your battles more carefully.
The reason why is because you are making it too much fun for them...
If you have serious questions and they are asked in a dignified manner I guarantee that will get answered. I've replied to a few of your threads with good information others have too.
This thread is a perfect example of what I am talking about. If all of your threads where like this there wouldn't be any issues.

This isn't an "online clique". It's a group of people that come here because we all share a love for bps/herps/snakes, etc. We come here and we share experiences, info, pictures of beautiful snakes. New people and friends are welcome, how do you think we all got here?? Everybody started somewhere. What isn't welcomed with open arms are trollish, and rude people.

I doubt that there was a single post, but rather a few that built into this. Your thread on live feeding and the thread about how sensitive this site is are most likely the main contenders.
You have to understand that this hobby is constantly under fire, because of this some people have a very low tolerance for things like live feeding videos. (I don't want to get into that debate, I'm just trying to help you understand how you got here) The content of the live feeding video thread itself wasn't that bad, It really was just worded poorly then interpreted in an even worse way by some. BOTH sides share the blame for this. Once the fire gets lit it doesn't take much for it to get out of control. Your thread about how sensitive this site is, is really what caused you issues. Some people were already angered/upset/mad/whatever and a thread like that can very easily be seen as a direct/personal attack. I'm not saying that you intended it that way, but that it can be perceived that way. People started responding, then you would retaliate, and thus the cycle was born. It got worse and worse until an admin had to close the thread. Some members stepped way out of line in my opinion, but you kept feeding the flames as well. Once again in situations like these there isn't any single person to blame, but rather many. Once the fire is lit is is very hard to extinguish.
As i said before lay low this will blow over. If you have any questions that you need answered try using the sites search function, then google. If you can't find a answer then you have 2 choices. Start a new thread, or send someone like me a PM. Either way write the post as if it was a school assignment, good grammar and well thought out sentences will go a long way to having people want to help you. People on this site will bend over backwards to help people I've seen it time and time agin.
