I understand what you are all saying &, I do agree in general. It just seemed that in the case we were currently dealing with (before the post was moved/deleted) we were dealing with some one who did not respond, or completely ignored, people trying to be civil & give him advice in the "right" way. I was just hoping that maybe being a little harsher might actually get through to him. I did not feel as though I was flaming him in the post. It was straight forward, direct, not sugar coated but I wasn't name calling or bashing on him. At least I didn't think that I was.

Like I said before though, I want to stay in the good graces of this forum. You have all been such a great help to me. I am more than certain that if it wasn't for BP.net, I would not be able to keep Hissy as happy as I know that she is. I feel very connected to a lot of you people for our common love of herps. So, from now on, when I see a post by Don, I will just run, not walk, the other way & leave it alone. I will leave the advice up to those who are able to provide it with a feeling less like sandpaper! :lol:
