You sure did handle it better than I could/would have Yvonne. WTG.

But, in my opinion, we (the mods) allowed it to go on for way too long. We should have nipped it in the bud, and I apologize to all of you for you having to read it. I did remove quite a few of his posts when I saw them, but I really thought he would eventually calm down and behave himself.
I think Susan got caught up in it. If you go back and read her threads, she was an interesting and valuable member. But once Freddy10 joined the forum, her posts started to go downhill.
Thanks again for all your support.

and I also agree it should have been stopped sooner, but I was also hoping he would calm down.

I have been browsing this forum fairly regularly for a couple of months getting ready for my first torts. I have't posted until now, but this collection of threads moves me to comment:
So many of you here are obviously caring, knowledgable, open minded, creative people who love your animals. You have provided me an invaluable array of ideas and guidance in herp care and always have a positive, welcoming, upbeat, accepting attitude. These threads really just demonstrate that even more. Yvonne, TerryO, Aldabraman, HermanniChris, Allegra, all you who have been helping me without knowing me, all you folk deserve only compassion and joy.
I would say for the moderators here that I know this sort of thread doesnt happen very often, but it should be cut off and delisted without much comment. You don't have to coddle the anger.
I'll post my pics and full intro later.
For now, best wishes and many thanks.
Bowman
