If you're going to post a thread like this, you have to be man enough to accept the bad with the good. If you don't like what people say, you should not have started the thread. People feel like they feel, and you cannot change that. You just should have kept quiet and left well enough alone. If the thread gets out of hand, a moderator will shut it down, but so far I haven't seen it. Just curiosity and wonderment about what and why.
Agreed... Quite frankly, you can't start a thread like this, specifically asking people to comment and criticize (From the original post: "please if you feel I'm wrong let me know!"), then blow up on everyone who even remotely disagrees with you, or feels you are wrong.
If you can't take the criticisms, you shouldn't have posted.
In any case, no one here is trying to hurt YOU. They're just expressing their concerns. Their concerns for your animals' care, their concerns for your wishy-washy attitude regarding what you want to keep and what you're going to sell... Usually, in situations like the one you create for the animals in your care, the animals begin to suffer in one way or another. Maybe this isn't the case for you, but you can understand where people get concerned, right?
The bottom line is, you asked for criticism, and you got it... There's no reason to get angry and insult everyone who makes a comment that doesn't fit what you want to here. Now maybe I'm stepping a toe out of line with this comment... But that's something I would expect from a 10 year old boy, not a full grown man.
(Mods: If that last comment is gone too far, I apologize. I don't think it is, but it can be hard to tell what other people consider "too far," and I've been wrong before...)
