As much as I love reptiles and this hobby the one thing I dont enjoy is all the drama and the feuds. It is unproductive, unnecessary and is a detriment to uniting this hobby we so love.
In all the years I know you Brian you have always been friendly,informative, professional, enthusiastic about what you do and I have never heard you say anything negative about anyone although that courtesy is not always given back to you. Jealousy is an ugly emotion and brings out the ugly side of people. Since you are one of the big dogs this will always be directed at you.
I dont know anything about these accusations or to whom they are directed but do agree with you 100% that it's about winning the war and not pinning a medal on your chest or bad mouthing others.
We need to put our differences aside and unite to fight the real enemy(not each other).
Who cares who did the most and if its PIJAC or USARK( I am a memeber of both) or one person in particular. Its not about the glory but the freedom to enjoy our animals and give that gift to the next generation.
Keep fighting the good fight!
