It's OK to disagree. It's ok to say "You know, I really think it's a bad idea to get those snakes" or "that lizard" or whatever. But to call names and roll your eyes and in every other sense deride someone (ANYone) on this forum serves no purpose but to boost your own ego.
even if the person you think is making a mistake has made them over and over again... i mean okay, there is a huge difference between a kid getting his first bp and somebody buying dangerously huge animals. I consider myself an experienced snake keeper, with about 15 years under the belt. and I wouldn't dare consider a burmese python, i know what they are capable of. so with that being said, anyone that I think is not fit to handle a certain species that they own or plan to own, they will know it.

i do however agree that we could be a little nicer about it all. but jeanne, and marla... i know you both see the other trend going on... which is people making incredibly bad decisions and it's becoming a pain to even have to read about them. so think about us little short-tempered people... it could be a LOT worse.
