Ben Siegel Reptiles, wow what is going on?

Woah! I wasn't in any way implying that he's being malicious! My point is that from an outsider's perspective (and I made clear that I'm an "outsider"), he has what looks like a cult following.

Saying, "he's just a Guy," was my way of saying that no one should make assumptions either way, in his favor or against him, based on his name.

I am sympathetic to peoples' issues, mental or physical. I didn't bring it up because it's alleged, not because I don't care.

The Kool-Aid thing, well that's just how I am. I don't really have an explanation for that.

I can see how it would appear to be a cult following to a one snake lady, but that is not the case for most of us here.

He is a well known and well respected member of the community. His story is getting more attention because he is so well known, but any other respected member of the community would receive the benefit of the doubt as well (at least, I would hope so).

He is not being given a pass because he is "famous" here, it's just because he's done right by a lot of people.
