A Friendship Dilemma

Jay_Bunny, that was not an attack on your character. I don't know you well enough for that. You misunderstood what I wrote. That's on you.

It was an absolute outing of lil petey though, difficult though that was for some to see. That's on me.

I wonder if lil petey's unnamed poacher friend is also trafficking in other Ca. Native Herps. I know there are a lot of people who do and it just seems far beyond the pale for me to think that this yahoo pal of out little friends is a first time poacher. It's my thinking that this is a long time relationship, after all it takes more that a couple of weeks to become someones good friend, doesn't it? So, lil petey must know about this guys habits, poaching native reptiles, heck I would not be surprised at all if our tiny friend has poached with this NorCal Yahoo.

Still though, it's not cool that lil petey has known, if he has which I for one firmly believe he did, that this guy was a poacher and not only didn't do anything about it, but purchased animals illegally from him.

I wonder how many other poachers lil petey has done business with. I wonder how many he knows period. That's not the crowd I want to encourage to be here at all.

NO POACHERS! Boo and Hiss to those who support them.

Respect the Duck.

Can we close this so the puppy can stop piddling in the corner please.

First, quit the whining!

Second, stop layin' down the law like you're some kind of perfect law-abiding citizen, haven't you ever got a parking ticket, ran a red light or done a rolling stop?

The problem with this statement is when someone breaks a traffic law, they're putting their own drivers license at stake, and no one else's. When someone breaks a herp law, they're putting everyones hobby at stake.

Dude, whatever.

Speculate all you want... but who the heck are YOU to judge ME?!

Nobody!

You're so angry at the world, so frustrated with people who don't follow the law and don't do as you say... get OVER IT AND MOVE ON!

Whatever happened to you in the past is your ordeal... get it together with your emotional issues.

Go hug a snake or something! Geez...

I don't know, does it?!

It's very easy to do all the name-calling as your frustration prevents you from ACTUALLY doing anything to me.

You're such a ... nevermind, I will not stoop to your level.

I think you're confusing the word stoop with the word stretch.

You don't stoop from where you are to get anyplace. You're as low as it goes.

Doc, I don't know anyone on Fish and Game up there, but I will be talking to some folks in the herp society he claims to have gotten advice from. There are only 4 members, so it won't be difficult to find out who knows our tiny friend.

He's a lair though. He said he reported himself when he shipped the rattlesnake by USPS across statelines and no one had heard of him until some folks did some checking.

I would not be surprised if no call was made.

Really?

If no lessons are learned it certainly does and there certainly isn't. Fact of life I'm afraid. You might want to find the common factors between the two events and work at eliminating it. I'll give you a clue it was you being involved in breaking something.

Actually we were more focusing on what the law is on the statute books.

Oh come on! A single glance to the left under your username shows everyone you have a whole 2 infraction points. Stop trying to play the victim and paint the staff as the bad guys for making you unfairly have to follow the same rules as everyone else.

We do try on the whole. But when people prove learning resistant it gets very frustrating
