Its up to you to remain open minded and accept what people are suggesting, many of these people have been keeping snakes,herps, exc for a couple decades! even if things come across as rude many of these people are looking out for the animals well being because the people who are here have a passion for the animals in their care... take it as being rude, defensive, or otherwise.

When it comes down to it (and this will sound rude) if you dont like it there are dozens of other forums out there you can join. I would much rather be here with these wonderful knowledgable people though to be quite honest. Im not sure which thread your refering to im just saying this isnt the first time this topic has come up.
I understnad and appreciate that. I know what you aare saying, but lately it's like the collective reaction is

"ZOMG, SAVE THE SNAKE!" and proceed to forcefully take over the situation instead of making suggestions or being helpful. I understand the mindset, but .. come on, there has to be a better way of going about it then telling the person posting "you're doing it wrong"
