I LOVE this...

Dude, why are you posting photos that are not yours without giving proper credit to the breeders that put in the hard work to create that little miracle? Don't you have some ch bps with their spines protruding to show off. Man, where is Jas when you need him, only he could put this tool in his place for real!

Well Deb beat me to the punch, but this dude is bad news!

Why so quick to attack? He acknowledged he made a simple mistake. I don't get some people's needs to attack other on these forums.

I am not attacking, infact I am defending those that do not have the experience to see past people like this. This was no simple mistake but rather an attempt to use someone elses work for his own self promotion. Look at the type of animal he admits to selling and then tell me that compares to the ax pin he is trying to associate with himself.

I am a pretty laid back dude, and several members can attest to that, however I love keeping reptiles and if something smells shady then I will speak up. I am sorry if you feel I am attacking but I feel I am protecting a hobby I love and if that gets me kicked off the board then so be it.

GROW UP... I did not ONCE say anything about being mine, or intend on using it for " self promotion ". You moron, how dare you. GROW UP! I saw a neat BP I though looked amazing in google search, and decided to share it with people. Youre something else...

It would be different if he just posted a picture making it seem that it was his, but I do not think he did any harm because he included who that snake belongs to as well as the photo.

I understand the passion of keeping reptiles, we all should. I have been reading this forum for a long time. I just recently made a profile so I do not feel new in a sense. I can see the concern from the previous thread, however as lovers of reptiles we need to educate not insult. I mean no offense to you and hope to have many more conversations in the future.

Look at the edit info below the photo, Deb had to edit in the photo credit. I find it amazing that I produce beautifully heathy babies and contribute regularly to the board and yet I am getting harped on for pointing out someone who doesn't seem on the up and up! I have been around the block a few times and I am just trying to share my knowledge and help other see through some of the smoke and mirrors. Not everyone in the hobby has aultruistic motives, but if some would like to believe it is all cotton candy clouds and pixie dust sprinkles then more power to ya!

Actually, a staff member gave credit to make his post in compliance with THIS forum's TOS.

No he didn't - Deborah edited the post to add it.

NOW - the insults being thrown back and forth will stop NOW!

The original thread was started at 6:29. You have 9 minutes to edit the post. Deb edited at 6:55, 26 minutes after the fact. Only a staff member could have edited it, and we did to give proper credit.

I think you are making some pretty wild accusations about someone you really don't know at all, rather, you just have a bad feeling about. I don't at all get that he was trying to put that snake off as his own in his original text.

It sounds to me now that it's getting personal, and if you have issues with him, then PM him with your thoughts. Perhaps talking to someone before accusing them may clear up some problems.

This is not what I wanted from this thread. I just wanted to share what I though was a very beautiful BP. That's all! Deborah, corrected me, and I acknowledge my mistake and apologized. I was going to try to edit it, but Deb beat me to the punch.
