Filling a critique with "crappy" "ugly", whatever, is just not necessary. It adds nothing to the thread. You can get your point across all the same without being rude with "That doesn't look much like a YB to me..." or something similar - with the added bonus of not making anyone feel abused, or worse, insulting an innocent animal.

I'm not sure I saw any insults coming from you, but there certainly were some nasty responses that couldn't really be justified.
I hadn't responded before that and I hope my post didn't come off as insulting in any way. I just can't believe that snake is a YB and think something got mixed up somewhere. Yeah, I agree that calling it crappy or ugly isn't necessary. Maybe I just missed or didn't notice the specific posts where those words were used. ?
